maybe its time to introduce some sort of moderation?
this forum has been my favourite since it was started and it feels bad that its been
defiled like this...
on the other hand, i do get some kind of morbid satisfaction giving him a -ve rating for once :)

a quick technical question:
each "unfulfilling" vote adds -1 to the karma... so how can this chap have managed to earn a karma of -60 in 57 votes?
is there any even lower vote you can give?!

Bad math on my part. I had a bug in the karma calculations. I just fixed the problem and recalculated. Feel free to contact me directly when you notice something like that. Onward,

Let me guess! You work for Microsoft and you want me to use the joke called Notepad!

After 1970?  The version of vim I use was made in late 2001.

Also, I would like to know WHAT new functionality you are talking about?  I honestly have never thought "Gee, I wish vim had -this-".  It does far more than any other editor that I have ever used.

Dunno about you folks, but I _hate_ to use software that isn't old enough to shave. You never know when it'll throw a tantrum and mess up something important.

How many people try vi(m) fumble with i x <esc> decide than vi(m) is hopeless, and give up. We all have a duty care to help vi newbies get over the initial learning curve!!
