You're welcome :) That was my reaction when I stumbled on it as well :).

That is one problem with Emacs; there is a _lot_ to learn. I learned
about iswitchb on some mailing list.

For a while I ran an "Emacs wizard" contest in my weekly status
meetings; whoever presented the coolest Emacs feature that week
(especially if I had never seen it before) got to keep a little wizard
statue for the week. Found a few good things that way. But it
degenerated into trivia.

One thing to keep in mind; if you find something annoying, you can bet
some other Emacs user found it annoying, and provided a feature to fix
it. Asking on one of the Emacs mailing lists is a good way to find out.
