    No. I was wondering if you were trolling to be honest as the following
    phrase from you ..

    `----

     .. did not tie in with your next sentence:

While you were wondering instead of reading, my first paragraph was
meaning something.  Something very important to me.

And my second paragraph---set off by just that, a blank line, or
paragraph and not necessarily hypotactically so, was a sincere apology.

    .. as basically I could hardly understand a word of that first part :-;

That's what I meant about your poor reading.  You know what is the most
instructive thing I have ever heard said about reading and writing?
That strong readers are strong writers.

Maybe instead of worrying about GNU/Emacs being in contention for the
strongest IDE, you should try using it for learning how to read and
write well---ostensibly, as the strongest _text_ editor that I know of.

I dread the day GNU/Emacs becomes Eclipse.
