Hi,

Anyway reporting anything to Trealla Prolog
or Scryer-Prolog is a total waste of time.

So the most logical thing to do is:

rm -rf trealla
rm -rf scryer-prolog

I already quit Facebook and Twitter, and
I don't miss them. I will probably also

not miss Trealla Prolog and Scryer-Prolog.

LoL

Bye
