Yes, that's intelligent but perhaps a bit overkill. It depends how many strings you have and how poor your spelling is, I suppose. Unless it comes with a big overhead it is nothing to worry about. > In the post you quote though I was giving advice to > someone who said they wanted flyspell everywhere. Well, I just thought about it when I saw the collective prog-mode-hook - you mean I should have quoted it differently to make explicit the advice was given to the OP and not you? Yes, I think it is the right attitude to help people even though you would have solved the problem in another way (including degrading it from problem status). That's what I try to do whenever I can but I also don't have a problem adding a note what I think on a larger scale. If I however only would give such comments that would have been a bad attitude indeed. -- underground experts united
