Remember before voting: it is most honorable to vote for vi, even if you are lying.

Remember also that Microsoft Word will be considered more acceptable than emacs.

We are watching; people voting for emacs will be dealt with severely.

the thing that Youssef doesn't know is that vi's the official SCO (god forbids) UnixWare editor, in all SCO (god forbids bardo) docs there is an implication that vi is your default editor the way that M$ always implies that Windowz is the ultimate platform

Hmm. You're saying vi is the ultimate editor, versus windows being the ultimate platform.

Wouldn't that sentence make more sense if you said emacs? You know, comparing one platform to another?
