    Thanx, Derek.

    I use vim for may be 10 years, but always find something new.

    You work is great.

    You should charge for this stuff! It's educational and hysterically funny. Great enthusiasm and you clearly have deep knowledge on the subject.

    I cant resist putting another comment, you speak and understand the passion, pleasure , agony and power which every vi user feels after using for a decade.

    I cant find words, absolutely wonderful
