and again i run up against unset locales:

(again typing -- my mouse is working, no gpm restart necessary, i just
can't cut and paste in tty!):

orange:~> dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xfree86
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = (unset)

   are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard C locale ("C").

*something*.  right; thanks.

i'd prefer to handle it myself, but not totally blind.  i *know* you
can fix it -- if i wanted you to do the whole thing, i'd just call you
and try not to whine :)

... but that said, i'm not sure how to proceed.  i guess reading
manpages for a bit ...

much better, thanks!  why would it be automatically "in_reply_to" and
not attribution?   the default they'd supplied wasn't working, either
...

i know.  and i appreciate it.  and i tried it.  and it didn't work.

::sigh:: noticed, read, and forgotten to copy into someplace safe,
like i did a few other things that i noticed in that.  okay, next
time i copy everything down into little i-know-i'll-forget-this files.
but for now, yes -- noticed and not read.
