    Right.  Considering the viewer is the lesser of the two objects, which do
you think is based on which?  :P

    Now we get to the crux of the matter.  It isn't %OATTACHMENT it is quick
templates that you're talking about.  Not sure.  Never really had a need.

    Remarking.  Bad.

    For you.

    For you.

    Defeats one purpose of having an external editor, let them focus

    Nope.  An ASCII editor which performs both is like a coffee brewer that
can take decaf or not.  The underlying stuff is the same and it works on both.

    If you don't like monolithic apps then I am at odds as to why we're even

    Maybe.  How many times have you seen me really get niggly with someone who
didn't do it first?  There are rare exceptions, but on the whole, as my dad
taught me a while ago...  Don't start it, but by god, finish it.
