To Matthias Apitz I read with interest your contribution and those of others in text editor=20 usage. In this I do not have much to contribute as I am so far perfectly=20 happy with vi. BUT I noticed your political comment at the end of your contribution. I fi= nd=20 this out of place as this questions site is for FreeBSD problems and not= =20 political ones. Could you please take your political comments and place th= em=20 on appropriate sites where such comments belong. I keep with president Bara= ck=20 Obama, who has a law degree from Harvard and sees the necessity to set up a= =20 commission to analyse the matter before taking part in the=20 international "howling choir" against Israel.
