Hey, this whole discussion and attitude just gave me an idea!

Why don't we turn the whole thing around, and instead suggest
that EVERYONE, all Emacs users, use the Linux console!
And that would be the ONLY way to use Emacs!

Just imagine what that would do, we could drop support for not
just X, there would be no more porting Emacs to Windows or Mac
OS or even the BSDs, there would just be no end to all the
problems that we could just ignore and instead say, "Stop
whining you techno-imbecile, and use the Linux console like
everyone else goddammit"
