Re: New start up splash screen annoyance...

    But if people like to use Emacs the other way, why forbid it?

The command `emacs FILE' is not forbidden; it is a bad habit.

By the way, David Kastrup's comments on Tramp are apropos:

    C-x C-f /sudo::FILE RET
    C-x C-f /ssh:SOME_REMOTE_MACHINE:FILE RET
    M-x cvs-examine RET /sudo::/ RET

I got into my habit of having a root instance of GNU Emacs before
Tramp was invented.
