Ace: Me too!!

He... een _bug_!

Ace: (Waar kon je dat programmaatje ook al weer halen? X? J$? Phrake?)

Bedoel je mijn perverse inews strain? Zie onder, al heb ik voor
groter gemak ook nog '-aol', '-hng' en '-jive'-switches toegevoegd.
Combineerbaar.

Ooit wil ik nog een '-truus' en een '-studly' maken, maar eerste
experimenten wijzen uit dat er niets te maken valt dat ook maar in de
buurt van het ontzagwekkende origineel komt; terwijl het toch zo
eenvoudig lijkt.

Changes in inews version 666.13
===============================
 
This is mainly a bugfix release. The one user visible change is that
the handling of signature files has altered. For many years inews has
truncated the signature at 4 lines. Since the net became fashionable
and the latest `W4Y C00L' thing to do, the massive influx of clueless
dorks has stretched this restriction to breaking point. The author of
inews has got fed up with endless email from naive users complaining
about the 4 line limit and has decided to stop trying to piss into the
wind. Now the default action is to expand signature files <= 4 lines
in length using a random selection from an online file of cow jokes
and bad ascii art. Use of the -K option will append Kibo's signature.
This option can be repeated, in which case Kibo's signature will be
appended multiple times, randomly quoted, followed by one line saying
"Me too!" to get a good approximation to being a subscriber of AOL.
The previous behavior of truncating to 4 lines can be obtained by
using the -McQ option.
