Eli, you are an exceedingly smart person (I say that without
a whiff of irony). But you haven't walked in a greenhorn's
shoes (definitely not wrt. Emacs) for quite a long time.

For us mere mortals it is sometimes hard to distinguish
between PEBKAC[1] and a genuine bug. That's why we (cautiously)
turn first to this list, perhaps once too often

Be gentle :)

Cheers
