 I am not interested in formal answers.
 You should not think that I don't read docs.
 
 I asked you about particular thing:
 
 WHY tor _doesn't_ _print_ the text "Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks like
 client functionality is working." when it's starting.
 
 $ strings `which tor` |grep "Looks"
