[steping into this conversation]

There are not many words that are also words rot-13ed. I used to use
an Organization: header on my posts that read "gnat tang" which is
a palindrome that rot-13s into the words swapped, "tang gnat".

has probably only used about 5 different Organization: headers over the years
