I second this! I just started using Emacs pointing and clicking with the 
mouse. Once accustomed I started thinking that there must be an easier 
way to accomplish this or that, so i just started looking up the 
respective short cuts or key strokes for the most used functions. And 
this knowledge is still growing day by day, partly thanks to this
