It means a couple of things:

1. Knowing how WPLUG meetings go, it will most likely take longer than
the allocated 20 minutes.  After all, if the only topic is editors,
people are going to want more.

2. If it's an emacs vs VI showdown, I really should be there the whole
time, afterall, people may have questions about Emacs after seeings some
of the VI features.

I was under the impression there would be more lighting talks and that
it would not be exclusively Vi vs Emacs.
