No. I was wondering if you were trolling to be honest as the following
phrase from you ..

.. did not tie in with your next sentence:
While you were wondering instead of reading, my first paragraph was
meaning something. Something very important to me.
And my second paragraph---set off by just that, a blank line, or
paragraph and not necessarily hypotactically so, was a sincere apology.

.. as basically I could hardly understand a word of that first part :-;
That's what I meant about your poor reading. You know what is the most
instructive thing I have ever heard said about reading and writing?
That strong readers are strong writers.
Maybe instead of worrying about GNU/Emacs being in contention for the
strongest IDE, you should try using it for learning how to read and
write well---ostensibly, as the strongest _text_ editor that I know of.
I dread the day GNU/Emacs becomes Eclipse.
