Goodness! All I wanted was to have a comment contain a copyright
character. Thanks to the people who were kind enough to take the time to
respond to my questions. Now my commit messages are no longer a big blob
of text, my .vimrc is modified, I've gotten fossil to stop complaining
about my file, and I've learned some more about the intricacies of
language support.
I never meant to start another editor war -- I thought that was over
when the vi vs. emacs debate finally died years ago.
Now its been suggested that I not only change my editor, but my
keyboard, my programming language, my OS, and even to buy a new computer
from a different manufacturer. While I suppose that might move the world
closer to perfection, but I've been around long enough to know that will
never happen.
If I knew Mr. Sonnenberger personally, I might, out of consideration for
an acquaintance, reach out and ask how I might be able to spell his name
correctly. I would hope that his response would not be to insist that I
change editors, keyboard, etc. I also strongly suspect that he would
feel the same were the situation reversed.
Anyway, thanks again to those people who helped me. At this point I
don't find this thread going anywhere productive and I'm sort of sorry
for starting it.
