- If you had taken a better look at my statement, you would see that all I was

- And the "hello? Is anyone awake inside there?" is totally irrelevant.

- : 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.
