Dear RMS "Matthew" Stallman, I have been a fan of your operating system for many years, and I have run for many years. [more text] By the way, when will version 4.3 be released?
Love and waffles,

The first widely distributed version of GNU Emacs was 15.34, which appeared in 1985. (Versions 2 to 12 never existed. Earlier versions of GNU Emacs had been numbered "1.x.x", but sometime after version 1.12 the decision was made to drop the "1", as it was thought the major number would never change. Version 13, the first public release, was made on March 20, 1985.)
