tramp error in custom-set-variables in ~/.emacs

[ken]

Doing "load-file ~/.emacs", I got an error which said (approximately)
"end of file reached before finished parsing".  So I went through
~/.emac and found at the end, under

(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it!

a really long line and a shorter line after it:

(For readability, because the first (very long) line wraps around, I've
inserted a blank line between these two lines just in this email.)

Putting the cursor/point on the first open parenthesis above, the first
one in " '(tramp-methods (quote...", and running "M-x
blink-matching-open", the minibuffer says "Mismatched parentheses".  The
end of "'(tramp-wrong-passwd-regexp ..." is also the end of the file.
I.e., this is the origin of the first-mentioned error.

What should I do?  (I'm really hoping that my only option is not
"Upgrade.")  If I simply delete these two lines, replacing them with the
needed closing parenthesis to "(custom-set-variables ...", would that
fix the problem?  Or should I instead move the tramp lines to some other
file?

Thanks for your wise recommendations.

Yes.

It depends.  Do you need to change the value of
tramp-wrong-passwd-regexp from its default?

Customize is for pussies.  Real men use setq.

This sounds like a variant of "Assembler is for wusses (more politically
correct); real men use soldering irons."

You can remove all these custom lines from your .emacs, if you haven't
changed the default values.
