I wish to start a thread on a topic that I think is important: Is the FM user on its way to extinction? The topic is contained in message 1 of this thread. I wish to use this space to offer a caveat. 

Given that a feature so mundane as multiple undo is controversial among some FM users, as indicated by the multiple undo thread, one can�t be too optimistic about how successfully a truly controversial topic will be handled in this forum. In the hope that a productive discussion can emerge, as opposed to the juvenile activity of mudslinging, in the next paragraph I offer advice that I�ve found helpful. 

Do not reply in the heat of emotion. Do not reply without allowing at least one night�s sleep to pass between framing the reply and refining it before presenting it. If possible, refine a reply over a period of days until, for several days, you find that you have only minor refinements to make. This indicates that the reply has stabilized over the short term. 

I think that if contributors to this thread follow the foregoing advice, we may hear sound, well-considered opinions from thoughtful people who have an aversion to joining a mudslinging contest.
