Written on the chalkboard at the beginning of Elder’s Quorum meeting was the follwing:

• What is vi?
• What leads to vi?
• What are the effects of vi?
• How do I avoid vi?
• Do I have vi?
• How do I get rid of vi?

Which is better, vi or emacs? That is the age old debate among *NIX users. I never thought the Church would establish any doctrine on the matter, and for a minute I was second guessing myself.

As it turns out the teacher was just being lazy and “vi” stood for “vain imaginations.” I think I like my original notion better.
