Not that it matters much, but I have _explicitly_ advocated TMM as the default more than once. To be 100% clear: (1) I am in favor of transient-mark mode being on by default. (2) I am even in favor of delete-selection mode being on by default. (3) But I am not in favor of CUA mode or CUA selection mode or PC selection mode being on by default. Again, FWIW. Just one opinion. If you want the reasons, see previous posts or email me off list.
