Hi Emanuel,

In the page about the elisp tutorial that comes with eev -

  http://angg.twu.net/find-elisp-intro.html

there's this line here:

  When I announced this on an Emacs mailing list the feedback was
  quite bad. See the thread.

The thread only has messages by you and me.
You are _THE_ example of a person who hates eev... =/

  Cheers,
    Eduardo Ochs
