sorry guys, it's one big inside joke that would be funny only if you were at the LAN on saturday at 4:30 in the morning.
See, mondi, -tk, clutch and somebody else (i forget) decided that it would be a good idea to fake out everybody. So since we were providing internal NAT and DNS, thom decided to rip the mantouch.com website and set up an internal webserver running a fake copy of it. Then, he pointed "www.short-media.com" to the internal webserver, so that when people sitting at the LAN went to this site, up came mantouch.com.... You had to be there to appreciate it, of course, but it was terribly funny.

man stands for manual in Unix. Its a command. Not sure what touch is but its in the index of my Unix book.
Man is a doc page reader, for docs of type man.
Touching a file with touch updates dating of file, can do other things. If you have a running Unix or Linux, or BSD box, try going in as admin\root and issuing this:
man touch
and if there is a man doc page, the page for touch will show up.
Actually, I cheat, I like less as a better reader simply because you can page up and down and scroll up and down with arrow keys.
See if
man touch | less
works. Less is kinda like the DOS and Linux more commands, except it allows upward and downward movement in a file. To read a log, one can also pipe to less. In linux, less is better than more as more only scrolls downward through file-- now you know what "less is better than more" really means in the *nix world. for log or source file reading, try using cat and piping to less. Lessen is german for "to read." Less is a file reader, decent one.
