Cute, forsyth ;)
read as "I understand it is easy to be preconditioned
by confident utilization of UNIX/Emacs style editing
over long periods of time, but, there is no reason to
dismiss a new environment without first learning how
its theory works relative to the environments you are
already 'settled' in to. Putting the effort in to doing
the research, despite the possible time factor, is
imperative to achieving a global view of not only the
new environment, but, also the old environment as well."
summed up in a somewhat (sympathetic?) context. hohoho!
lol
