The people who use Emacs but "aren't programmers", those people aren't programmers simply because they didn't take it in that direction, whatever good reason they might have for not doing so. Holly would if she could, but to them it is the other way around. I have as much respect for them as I do the "Emacs programmers", because it means they do something else with it. Most certainly, they are not the people who make the offer "make sense". -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
