The fact that there was some bug after the system manager here had changed the
header file for tin was not my fault. Still, this has got nothing to do with
the current subject.

If you had taken a better look at my statement, you would see that all I was
doing here, was amending a misunderstanding which, when misunderstood correctly
would make it look as if I was saying something I was talking against later.
And the "hello? Is anyone awake inside there?" is totally irrelevant.

: free clue: sending privmsg on a privmsg is wrong. sending a notice on a

And if you had read other strings than this one, you would know that we are
in fact discissing the protocol and people's knowledge of this one in another
string.

: free clue: screen
: 
You wouldn't come with this comment if you knew the system we have here. Now.
tin is run on unix1.mrih.no. The version of screen on unix1 does not work
properly and will mess up the screen of irc. So we run irc from samson.mrih.no.
The version of screen on samson.mrih.no is okay, and I can run both elm and irc
on samson. However, to run tin, I have to telnet unix1. When I telnet unix1
from samson, vi (which is the silly editor tin uses on unix1) does no longer
recognize the cursor keys, and editing anything is impossible. I can at best
post something without quotes - if what I write is correct before I press
return.

: you have to buy/beg/borrow/steal the rest of the clues, you clueless dork.
: 
Another useless comment. Could you please try to be a bit more creative and
thereby use less bandwidt on bullshit comments like these.
