No secret. ROT13 just means add 13 characters onto the letter to
code/decode it, so A->N, B->O ... Z->M. It's the Usenet equivalent of a
magazine printing the answer to a quiz upside down.

A quirk is that some messages ROT13 onto themselves, or something very
similar, so the ones above are:

Aha!  Nun or abjurer be nowhere? -> Nun!  Aha be nowhere or abjurer?
Bar one: Ova bin rail envy. -> One bar: Bin ova envy rail.
Onyx ant balk nag  -> Balk nag onyx ant
she sync fur flap. -> fur flap she sync.
Gel tang irk vex gnat try. -> Try gnat vex irk tang gel.
