Now come on, I am but an ungainly fawn in the unix wilderness and have
found vim to be albeit comfortably confusing but incredibly powerful
editor.

I thought that it was the mark of a true unix beard to be able to use vi(m).

you should all be ashamed. Especially after all that talk of paper
tapes and computers that made heavy clunking sounds etc. I have never
even used a 5 1/4 inch floppy in anger.
