New users will _not_ miss it. Because they won't know about it; but they will miss out on a little bit of texture. (Which, of course, is better than replacing it with something not very good.) If the above mentioned committee does get formed (hmmm... Emacs needs a magic eight ball feature: M-x shake-eight-ball Question: Will the committee be formed? *FLASH* *FLASH* *FLASH* Answer: It remains to be seen.) email me (off-list, of course). I don't know how much help I'd be (I have a tin Zippy ear --- I thought some of the contributions were pretty good), but I'd do what I can. Jay
