EMACS is the spawn of the devil, and his name is Stallman. Who else
would consider ^S and ^Q to be valid editor commands? Who else would
force people with sane terminals to pound on the ESC key all day long?
Who else would have you with on finger on the CTRL key all day long?
What's GNU with you?

I use the one-true-editor: `vi'. Down with modelessness! Down with
MetaBuckyBits! Down with Lisping Machines! Down with MIT!

	I never said I couldn't figure out ITS.
	Just that it was more gross and offensive than VMESS.
