Hi Kevin,

Your difficulties, and the various ways to negate them informed me, and
I expect they gave you choice of ways out of strife.

Thilo seems to be sorely confused. My post included one passing
rhetorical question, as a lead-in to a proposal for another way to avoid
your problem, which Thilo himself attempted to solve. It was not asking
any real question, but offering vim-related help.

Perhaps Thilo can outline why he may try to help, but others may not.

Erik
