what's wrong with this?
everyone knows where my ~/.emacs is, and this is not a security hole, as
long as I use the correct permissions!
Also, why can't I specify the directory myself -
why does it have to be random?
And why can't I turn this "feature" off?
Why is it applied repeatedly, to keep my profile in
c:/Program
Files/Netscape/Users50/sds/kyxfxk51.slt/mjgqyx89.slt/1t89vl74.slt/auubw6mj.slt/mla2fchh.slt/6haxezub.slt?!
