It would be helpful if you didn't repeatedly skip over the points people
think are substantive, even when they're specifically brought to your
attention.

Right now, this is just a waste of my time and an irritation. If you're
interested in actually addressing anyone else's concerns rather than just
pushing your own bandwagon, then perhaps this thread is worth continuing,
if not, I won't be replying to you anymore.

Should I take your continual Cc'ing me and the way you blame it on your
MUA as a subtle argument to why Debian shouldn't distribute emacs, btw?

Cheers,
