At Sat, 10 Mar 2001 it looks like Jesper Holmberg composed:

jeho57->Now, I have have yet another small question: should I use Emacs or Vi
jeho57->for editing?
jeho57->
jeho57->Sorry, that was a joke.
jeho57->

<flame_proof>
............. From day one I was told I may eventually like emacs,
but I'd better learn vi for you may be out trouble shooting a
machine that is OFF_LINE and it may not have emacs installed but
you can count on vi being in all UNIX machines 99.9% of the time.

I've been using Unix type OS's for a while (1996) and have never
used emacs yet. Life with all the Unix's is difficult enough and I
have a motto of "I pick and choose my own battles...." and vi is a
battle enough.

When I become a "vi pro" if there is such a thing, then I might
venture towards emacs.
