2/23    Why is it that when I use tin to post a message, it gets
        posted as if its from <DEAD>host.berkeley.edu<DEAD> even though I am
        on <DEAD>host.cs.berkeley.edu<DEAD> and there is no <DEAD>host.berkeley.edu<DEAD>?
        I'm using /usr/sww/bin/tin and its version:
        tin 1.3 950824BETA PL0 [UNIX] (c) Copyright 1991-94 Iain Lea.
        \_ perhaps you should ask the people who run the machine(s) on
           which you are having this problem, dumbass.
                \_ I have seen the same problem with other machines
                   and other people. So unless diff sysadmins in the dept
                   are making the same mistakes, this might be a tin
                   problem. Thats why I posted to the motd, dumbass.
                   \_ /usr/sww is built by one group of sysadmins and
                      shared with the entire dept, so if the problem's
                      there, it doesn't matter who your sysadmin is dumbass.
                        \_ Then I'd contact SWW sysadmin, not "the people
                           who run the machine(s) on which you are having
                           this problem", right, stupid dumbfuck?
                           \_ wow you people are
        \_ The problem with sww is that it isn't maintained in a consistent
           and serious way for the last few years.  Good luck with sww admins.
