    Yes, if I did something in another program before C-y.  But that is a 
feature,
    I expect that.  But maybe 99% of my C-y is from the kill ring Emacs 
maintains
    itself, that is a kill was made and Emacs has the selection.

I asked if C-y nearly always gets you a selection from another
program, and your answer is, in effect, "It does that SOME of the
time."  In effect that doesn't really answer.
