  <p>I am sick of everything i 'delete' in emacs being added to the kill-ring; it always means i must M-y twice to move past what i just deleted to get what i was going to paste!</p>
  
  <p>is there an easy way to actually 'delete' what i select rather than add it to the kill-ring? How do other people deal with this problem? doesn't it annoy you too that what you 'delete' is added to the kill-ring?</p>
