Hand editing in "vi" - my newsreader is "slrn".

For a while I was using Thunderbird as my newsreader, but since I use a
variety of computers, it was a nuisance that each device had its own
"newsrc" file.

With "slrn", I can "ssh" into one Fedora box, with minimal bandwidth
consumption and delay. TigerVNC is not so friendly for that.
