I think I need to attend vUA meetings -- it's too easy to tell when I
didn't vi a file, as there are sporadic editing commands interspersed
with my text. I sometimes catch myself and delete the offending
characters, but other times it takes me a night of sleep to proofread my
stuff and then slap myself.
