... and able to destroy entire documents with a single :s/^.*$//g  :-)

I'm an Emacs guy, and Tramp mode (Transparent Remote Access, Multiple
Protocols) now gives me the ability to access any documents I can get
to via (ssh|rsh|rsync|scp|sudo|telnet).

But it's frequent enough that I'm logged in somewhere where only vi is
an option that it appears I have absorbed enough of that I'm often
showing "vi people" what to do :-).

Oddly enough, this is completely standard behaviour for shells. This
is a roundabout way of saying `don't use combined chains of `&&'s and
`||'s unless you think Gödel's theorem is for sissies'.
