I am not an old user then, and neither is Richard (I think that he stays
with the defaults in that respect).

So wrong on count #1.

    delete-selection-mode is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in
    `delsel.el'.

[...]

    When Delete Selection mode is enabled, Transient Mark mode is also
    enabled and typed text replaces the selection if the selection is
    active.  Otherwise, typed text is just inserted at point regardless
    of any selection.

So wrong on count #2 as well.
