Apologies if I offended you, I was just making a > joke. You don't offend me. You mislead other Emacs users. It's good to let users know of alternative behaviors, regardless of whether or when you or I might prefer to use them. It is important that there is not just one Emacs Way. In-Emacs-we-don't-use-a-mouse is not the right message, IMO. Even - or especially - when passed off as a snarky joke. FWIW: Had you written "Click mouse-1 in the echo area" I would likely have added "Or just use `C-h e'". It is good to know about both alternatives - each can be useful.
