i'm following a thread wherein the participants discuss the
blinking box cursor, visible w/ emacs under a windowing system.
what follows is a personally-motivated survey (i'm curious),
and DOES NOT represent views of emacs hackers, etc.  some of
them may read your responses and act upon the answers, but
that is NOT GUARANTEED.  [insert more disclaimers here.]

* have you tried using emacs w/ the blinking box cursor?

* do you find it uncomfortable?
  (if "no", you can skip the next question.)

* do you think it is an imposition to put:
    (blink-cursor-mode 0)
  in ~/.emacs to turn it off?

* do you use another shape cursor (such as vertical bar)?
  if so, which?

* how do the shape and the blinking affect your (dis)comfort?
  (i'm looking for correlation info, such as:
    shape: box, blinking: on, i-find-it: unbearable
    shape: vertical bar, blinking: on, i-find-it: no-worries
  in the response.)

* is cursor blinking a feature you would be inclined to
  change during an editing session?  if so, how often?

* how do the number of frames visible and the blinking affect
  your (dis)comfort?  (again, looking for correlation info.)

please trim this and the intro paragraph in your response.
thanks!  [insert more fearsomely strong disclaimers here.]
followups set.
