01/01   How do I view past motd file in ~mehlhaff?
        \_ Run 'less ~mehlhaff/tmp/motd,v' and then hit '/FreeBSD<return>'
          \_ oh puhleese.  just check out whatever version you want with 'co'
             \_ um, and how much of a pain is that on a file where version
                numbers mean nothing?
                \_ It's not, because you check out by date.  man co.
                   \_ ah yes, at 9:52 AM on December 13th someone responded
                      to my comment on modern politics.
              \_ Really?  You find checking out dozens of different versions
                 of the file to be easier than running one command and paging
                 through the various changes made over time?  I find viewing
                 with less gives a much better sense of the history of the
                 changes for much less work than using co.
