Why not:
Package: xtalk
Version: 1.3-15
Description: BSD talk compatible X Window System client
XTalk is a visual communication program which copies lines from your
terminal to that of another user. This is an X Window System version,
written in Python.

I don't think that knowing what all the utilities are or how to use
them should be a prerequisite to being a member of this list. Perhaps
I am mistaken, but I am under the impression that this mailing list at
least partially serves to share knowledge and help with other debian
users. So, you are defeating the purpose of the list by telling
people to leave for not knowing that 'talk' is a program. You'd make
good use of the list if you offered some helpful insight. Remember
that mailing lists are usually archived and indexed, so chances are
you'd be helping more than just the current members of the list.
Regards,
Elijah

*whoosh*, yeah, I completely missed talk(1).
Where do I turn in my geek card...
I still stand by my comment. In its own right it makes sense, though
being in response to a misunderstanding makes me look the fool.
C'est la vie.
cheers,
Owen.

Thanks. Linpopup doesn't quite fit the bill, but xmessage does. Well,
it would if it supported UTF-8...
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
