GODDAMN!!!! I had no inkling of a clue that such a useful utility even
existed. I would never have found it through google and I can't imagine
any way other than overhearing this conceversation that I would ever
have known about such a thing.

Linux would be a hundred times more useful if its utilities weren't
named with codewords relating to things that most people have never
heard of. =(
