It was a remark I just made. Whether you've unleashed the zombie plague
to get your girlfriend back or to conquer Venus, you've still unleashed
the zombie plague.

Well, please don't assert that just changing mouse-drag-copy-region
without changing the mouse-2 binding is actually sufficient to restore
old behaviour on w32. If you did assert that, anyway (Miss, Drew said
Eli said...). If even after all my explanations you and/or Drew
genuinely think it does restore the old behaviour (rather than causing a
different behaviour that may or may not be an acceptable substitute),
then well, we're failing to communicate and I just don't think there's
much more I can do there on my end.
In any case, I'm now going to look at getting certain remaining
selection issues on x11 sorted out (I've just proven to my satisfaction
that at least one nasty one that was present back in the summer is still
present now), they're rather more important to myself as an x11 emacs user.
