And you could have had zero expectation of Stephen supplying helpful info for a number of ongoing years on a lot of topics and contributing his respective experience from his position as the maintainer of XEmacs, the archnemesis of Emacs. It's like frowning on Mahatma Gandhi since he was weaving himself the clothes he wore to set an example for Indian self-reliance, but omitting to cast bullets on his own. Yes, overgrandiose example, sorry for that. Still I consider that Stephen deserves a bit more of "thank you" and a bit less of "screw you" for the work he invests into keeping his competition in good shape. -- David Kastrup
