i got lost halfway through this post. i'd be curious to see if this text follows the rule of 'first and last letter in the proper place' and to see if it really works.

Interestingly, this passage has all the words with the first and last letters in place, and all other letters reversed. With that in mind, you can read it easily. But if you don't have that in mind, it sure looks like a lot of garbage.

Just my observation... and when you see that, the text itself explains that that is exactly what it did. A "simple, mechanical inversion of internal characters."

It does. Just reverse the order of the letters other than the first and last.
