I want to eventually fix my Emacs to look like
Richard Klinda‘s funky w3m customizations.

http://emacs-w3m.namazu.org/ml/msg03995.html has the goods.

I post a long, well-thought-out message on pinoyjug about helping people and why I prefer guiding students over answering their questions directly, and what do I get?

Oh gosh, I wish my name is "Helping Students Who Need
Guidance..." ;)

and another message:

Very enlightening.

<mock grumble> All very nice and good, but I want thoughtful, well-considered responses… ;)
