adieu *scratch*

[Dan Jacobson]

Nope, it's time the *scratch* buffer should go for experienced user
me. Just gets in the way in switch-to-buffer "*s":
  Possible completions are:
 *scratch*                         *shell*
That was the last straw, you might say.                                         
 Anyway, I'm no old fogey who needs a buffer to type lisp into all day or 
something. The above humor is intended to keep me "plopular". Hey Mom, I moved 
this line to the 81st column, where HE'll surely never see it :-)

(kill-buffer "*scratch*");in .emacs
OK, that wasn't too hard. Anyway, there are plenty of variables
regarding the *scratch* buffer but none to not create it in the first
place.
