First a littlbabackground... Everyone who's used emacs gnus to read news knows that when you go to the next page of a message, you still have the last two lines from the previous scrdeen on the current one.
Well, YKYBHTLW you are reading a book, and you get to the end of the page and skip the last two lines expected them to be on the next page... Needless to say, I was very confused for a few seconds...
And this just happened to my friend.
He said: "Okay guys, it's late, I should get going back to my home directory. " It took him a few minutes to realize that he meant to say dorm rather than home directory :-)
I think we need a vacation?
Tim (and Josh)
