- I know you are trying to compensate for your misunderstanding, but you
- also showed here that you had not removed the on publics. Something
- which breaks the protocol. And I can see once again you are not listening.

- Do you mean threads? If so, the topic of bots obeying protocol belongs
- in this thread too

- You can use the following keys in vi as cursor keys in non-insert mode.
- h - left, j - down, k - up, l - right. You can also use all the ed(1)
- commands inside vi by typing ":". Feel free to ignore or whinge about
- this advice.
- Why not compile rn or tin or something in samson if its not as "losing"
- a machine as unix1?
