I am sorry for it sounded as sneering to you. I have no such intention. As network proliferate throughout the society emacs is becoming net savvy too. What I wanted to express was let us not go against it but take advantage of it as long as people without net connection are not sacrificed. I do not care about a fashion but the speed, accuracy, efficiency and convenience of the development. What I meant by "anachronism" was that let's not bound rest of the people to the people who don't have network connection. I regret I wrote that message. I should have spent my time for seeking a solution that I believe is right than writing that message. I apologize I wasted your time as well. -Tak
