I'm *very* sorry.  Something was wrong and it didn't have anything to do 
with anyone else.

I copied the vimrc example file and set it as my vimrc.  I then forgot 
all about it.   When  I fired up vim, forgetting that I copied the vimrc 
example and set it as my vimrc, I  wondered why autoindentation was 
enabled.   I *should've* wondered why the *example* vimrc had 
autoindentation enabled but that doesn't make sense since the vimrc file 
is just an example.  And to ask why autoindentation is enabled in an 
example file is dumb.  Besides, it is just an example.

All apologies for strting this useless noise and traffic.

Thanks.
