Go buy a copy of 'Learning the vi Editor' by O'Reilly & Associates,
Inc.  Read it.  Then refrain from commenting on things you're uninformed
about in the future.

Go inspect the ports collection, notice 'lynx' is not part of 'the o.s.',
then refrain from commenting on things you're uninformed about in the
future.

Everyone doesn't want their editor to be EmacsOS, everyone doesn't use
X.  Go confirm this, and refrain from commenting on things you're
uninformed about in the future.

For God's sake, let's comment on things we're informed about.

Oh, FWIW, comment on things you know about...  That way, you won't look
like an idiot in the future.

Thanks,

PS Is this a troll?  Surely it is... or, maybe April 1st already?  ;)
