Ohh, that i missed, big ooops! I just reacted to what i saw as an 
attempt to take credit for someone elses idea wich is a thing i hate no 
matter where it come from. Now i see that that clearly was not the case 
so ill just shut up now. MC rocks no matter what. It should be a base 
tool in all the dists because anyone can use its editor. Boy is it hard 
to learn vi on the fly.
