Was it introduced by the original skeleton author, or was it inserted on-the-sly by someone else? What does the cvs history say, or is it even recorded in the cvs history? if you ask these questions (and find the answers) before forming your belief, perhaps your position would not need to rely so heavily on belief, and thus (ironically) be more "believable". please post your analysis of "cvs log skeleton.el" output so i can learn your thought process. thi
