Thanks!

Now, any other idea *why* the newsgroup has become so small?

(Maybe us old-farts are dying off, and not being replaced?  Or maybe
MS (or is it still M$?) convinced everyone to use them?)

What other editor even competes with emacs?  ex/vi/vim I suppose;
anything else?

Emacs is easy, once your fingers memorize it!

FSF is still updating their two main emacs manuals (user-man
& elisp).  (updating and printing)
