Wow. I had no idea when I wrote the original article that I had just doused myself in gasoline. Whee. :) Within a very short time, I had eight mail messages that addressed *all* the points I had made (and quite reasonably, too), plus four people who suggested that I be forced to use vi for the rest of my natural life. (No thanks--I don't even *touch* vi.) Not to mention the articles that appeared in this newsgroup, which were surprisingly flame-free. It must be the spirit of the FSF at work; I doubt I would have been able to get away with such an ill-informed posting in any other newsgroup. So, thank you all. I'd like to thank all of you by name, but I have a feeling that I'm going to be receiving mail for the next few days on this. Lessee--yup, two more messages since I started this thing. :) --Ken McGlothlen mcglk@blake.acs.washington.edu
