Like EDLIN?   Now that is an insult.  EDLIN comes from the comany that has
slowed the PClones down quite a bit (with the thing that is called MeSsy-DOgS!)
EDLIN is as utterly dumb as you can get.  It doesn't even have regular
expressions *sigh*


Hmm.... 
I just got an idea about the vi vs. emacs vs. others-editors:
Why not create a group called:
comp.editors.flame.wars.between.emacs.and.vi.and.other.editors

That way we could unsubscribe to that group and have those that insist that
their editor is the best since sliced bread post to that group instead of
comp.editors :-)


just my opinion, (and who is listening anyway :-)
