For over 20 years, I have been using the secondary-selection (a standard feature of the X-Windows system) when editing texts, using the Solaris operating system on Sun Hardware. Recently, I have switched to Linux on
i86 hardware.

No, Charles is /not/ the only one to think that secondary-selection has value.
And, who are /you/ to say that secondary-selection has no value?
