$@ is sh for the entire arg array, and address@hidden is for "the first arg
string, removing up to and including the first '@' char".  see the bash man
page section on parameter expansion.  so 'ssh address@hidden' -> 'screen
-t "yourhost.com" ssh "address@hidden"'.  of course, if you use different
usernames, maybe you don't want to remove that.

and also, this is pretty cool. i'm probably going to use it or some variant,
thanks!
