1/24    You can almost always tell an emacs user has edited the motd.  I
        think that's cute.
        \_ how? -an emacs user
           \_ must be the #motd.public# files lying around. or is it
              motd.public~ ?
                \_ Nope.  Good guess though.  It's more subtle than that.
                   Know thy emacs.
                   \_ ~/.saves* ? tab/space switches? no terminating 0x0A?
                        \_ Oooh.. sooooo close.
        \_ ED!  ED!  ED is the STANDARD!  Text Editor.
        \_ And the answer is: emacs users tend (thus I say 'almost always') to
           control-n past the end of file and then save.  Tom and some anon
           person came closest.  Contest over.  Thank you for participating.
