simply substitution cyphers are easy to crack if you know the language it is
written in... use a letter frequency, which is easy to get from a sample
page from any book... 'e' is the most common... also looking for word
boundaries helps a lot too to guess some replacements...

I just could not be cared to take the trouble... if it's not using ROT13 (a
simple Caesar cypher), I am not going to spend hours manually
decoding/encoding postings...
