   Maybe I am out of line here, but all of us are not guru's who have
   been working on UNIX for the last 40 years.   

   I personally am really enjoying this debate!

   I am using VI, and am considering going to EMACS, and am getting all
   kinds of nifty ideas out of the postings on this subject.  I also 
   enjoy the stimulation of the different points of view.

   So, I don't think it's futile at all.  The only time it is a downer
   is when some off-the-wall knucklehead derides someone else's point
   of view for no good reason, but that doesn't happen very often.

   Generally, people make there points, and back them up with reasoning
   or examples (which I ALWAYS TRY OUT) and a lot is to be learned.
     
   Finally, if you don't like the discussion just <shift-L>.

   However, I may be in the minority.  If so, I accept your flames
   willingly.....
