I guess whether (a) this "most university people" stuff was some kind of
irony towards me (and if yes, I guess it's mistaken: I'm just a student
of Emacs, and a curious one, too, so I wanted to understand; in fact,
Drew's answer was one of the very few on-topic ones! And what I'm
actually doing is my "university stuff" is mathematical analysis/fixed
point theory) and whether (b) this "half-disintegrated tomb stones"
stuff was some kind of irony towards Emacs itself. ;-P
Best,
