Some people frown at putting your own stuff in .emacs.d. Personally I put everything in there and have never had a problem. ~/.emacs is now ~/.emacs.d/init.el. I also now have ~/.emacs.d/.gnus.d/init.el for Gnus handling. Make it a lot cleaner to sync with other computers. -- Once upon a time we were just plain people. But that was before we began having relationships with mechanical systems. Get involved with a machine and sooner or later you are reduced to a factor. ~Ellen Goodman, "The Human Factor," The Washington Post, January 1987
