7/7     Why aren't there instructions on the CSUA web site on how to post
        to the motd and/or wall?
        \_ Use "me" to edit the motd.  It locks the motd (to some degree)
           and uses the editor in your EDITOR env variable.  Don't overwrite
           if your editor complains upon saving.  Try to minimize the amount
           of time the motd is locked by typing your post before locking
           the motd. For wall, go to any terminal and type "wall y" to
           start receiving walls.  Type wall to enter a message and ctrl-d
           to send.  Feel the cruftiness wash over you in a wave.
           \_ since OP posted to the motd just fine and knows about wall, i'm
              going to assume OP means why don't we have instructions to
              tell the less knowledeable how to do this.
              OP: mail politburo and ask them about it.
           \_ Perhaps there should be a new policy: all new accounts must send
              at least 10 walls within the first week or their account is
              killed!
              \_ No one gives a fuck about wall because wall is full of assholes
                 and that fact is coming home to roost.
              \_ No one gives a fuck about wall because wall is full of

                 \_ shut the fuck up, kchang
                        \_ kchang didn't log in when the above was posted
                           \_ more than one person scp's
                              \_ which also shows.  whatever.  some people
                                 like you *think* they're so damned clever
                                 but they're not.  there is no true
                                 anonymity on the motd.  if you had any clue
                                 you'd know that scp isn't a way of hiding
                                 any better than just editing it raw and
                                 posting to the wall which changes you made
                                 and signing them.
                 \_ well now... is this some sort of revelation to you?
                    don't look too closely at the motd either then.
                    \_ The motd often has useful non-asshole comments as well.
                       Reading a few random hours of wall logs on any day
                       shows boredom and assholes, not much else.
