   I can't help but wonder why Mr. Gallaher complained that people
should compare the different version of Emacs, while not giving
us anything to compare to.  It is a fact of life that not many
people are going to go out and buy CCA Emacs (especially if they
have had problems with earlier versions) if they already have
something that is free and that works.
   On the other hand, if you were to respond to articles such as
this one by contributing something useful (i.e., how to turn fill
mode on when in text mode), then you might accomplish the additional
goal of showing us what is good about CCA Emacs.  This seems far
more productive than berating people for preferring the Emacs they
have to the one they don't.
