Update:
My desire to decode this would have to be described in the Lackadaisical Thread, and therefore my general opinion of it would have to appear in the Bellicose Thread. I suppose that makes me a candidate for the Stodgy Thread.

That's easy for you to say!

Since it appears your "code" is character based instead of term based, your "code" is probably more correctly defined as a "cipher."

Ok, it's a cipher. Whatever.
I learned this type of cipher (?) when my mother (rest in peace) was going blind and was sending me emails via touch-typing. One or both of her hands would get "off" by a key, up, down, or sideways, there would be a paragraph or so of gibberish, and I had fun figuring out what she had actually written. What I would do to "crack" it would be to touch-type exactly what she had written, with my own hand or hands off a key, and eventually I'd find the key to what she said.
Not that hard really, but you would have to have a clue. I think many unbroken codes and/or ciphers are like this....if you know where it came from, it's easy, and if you don't, it's impossible.

In that case, it should have been obvious. U naje tgat nustaje ifteb ebiyf wgeb bit trtyubg ti,
