It didn't disturb me. As someone who knows a bit about Emacs
development in this area, I was trying to help you construct a .emacs
that would be less prone to future changes in functionality. (An
example of such changes is the color support on character terminals:
many people had their .emacs use window-system to differentiate
between color and colorless Emacs; they got bitten when Emacs 21 was
released.)
I'm sorry if my attempts to help annoyed you.
