Go reread my post - you didn't understand what I sayd.
Here, I'll spell it out for you:
1. I NEVER said text editing would be easy to progream. I just said that
I thought it would be easy. A simple "No, I'ts quite comlicated
because..." would have sufficed.
2. I took justified offense to the cynical and sarcastic and arrogant
response to my honest inquiry.
3. Calling me a sheep just proves my point. Swatting away comments by
regular users is not very "open", is it?
4. Sheep don't go "moo".
5. I don't know what RTFM means, but I'm sure it is neither respectful,
nor constructive.
