Is it me or is there an echo in here :o)

Erm...! Not entirely sure how I did that!! I'm trying to think of a set of vi keystrokes that could have done it by accident, but they're not springing to mind at the moment. Still, at least I know somebody was taking it in when they read it ;-)
There are a few possibilities, but I guess the most likely is that you typed the paragraph for the first time, pressed 'Esc' to close "insert" mode, and then pressed the '.' key by accident: In "command" mode, '.' repeats the last editing operation (which in this case would have been the typing of the paragraph). [Had you spotted what you had done, then of course 'u' would have immediately undone it!]

Aha, now that's a possibility, although I'd not thought of it never having done it before. I could think of several ways of duplicating the paragraph, but none seemed brief enough to have been done accidentally. I guess I should count myself lucky that in the years that I've been using vi I've not done it before!
