It would seem:
1: Every non-silly combination of shape and blinkability of the cursor is
needed and loved by some people, and equally hated by other people.
2: Once a user has found his favourite cursor setup, he never wants to

3: gnu.emacs.help participants don't, on the whole, mind writing simple
lisp into their .emacses.
