3/26    I am tired of my motd entires get overwritten, why won't people
        use motdedit already?
        \_ If y'all just stopped using emacs and pico, we'd be fine...
        \_ Cause idiots lock the motd for hours at a time (like right now).
        \_ what's the point anywayz, the liberal scum here will just delete
        anything that is common sense and hide the truth.
           \_ Don't you mean the Republican scum here pulling crap out of
              their ass?
              \_ No.  Conservatives are open for debate on any topic.  We
           Is there a FAQ on the motd file lock written somewhere? The motd FAQ
           is more of a conduct guide. Or is it just whoever comes up with
           "fstat /etc/motd.public" at a given moment? (aspolito as of a minute

                 believe that what we believe is based on substance and thus
                 can be defended in a debate setting.  We also believe that

                 no fear of debate or reason to censor.  Thank you for adding
                 your small bit of wit to the motd.  As an aside, it appears
                 to me that the first "anywayz, the liberal scum" post was
                 posted by a leftist scum trolling for attention,
                 rather than a conservative who had no cause to write such
                 a thing.  Have a nice day.  --motd conservative
                 \_ Yeah, all those Right Wing religious people have belief
                    systems based on reason and substance. Do you really
