Right... because you are likely to have many users and they will reference
each other's name (web space).

This works the same whether it's localhost or some public URL.  It doesn't
matter how many local users there are.  Without the username part, the URL
will 404.

I snipped because I could not read anything at the link without registering
for their "free trial" (not happening) and so could not comment.

Not in contention... I was noting the reasoning why.

I have never registered for any such trial... odd you would run into that.

Again?  I already quoted it once.  He refused to read it then, so what's

"Unlike you".  

As always, the serially-lying thing twists reality 180 degrees, and
claims that he knows more about the issue than does the *obviously*
more-knowledgable person.

The thing regularly argues about issues on which is it ignorant, and
lies to attack when it is proven to be wrong.  We get it already,
bowel.

Haha, and the funny thing is that Snit has access to a Mac, and can even test 
these himself to see, but chances are that he doesn't even know how to start the 
shell, so he just claims that this is "changed defaults".

Hilarious!

BTW, I will absolutely confirm this.

My Mac has no "changed defaults", but behaves in exactly the same way 
(bash shell).

"echo ~" => "/Users/<my homefolder name>"
"echo ~<my homefolder name>" => "/Users/<my homefolder name>"
"echo ~<random text>" => "~<random text>"
"echo ~root" => "/var/root"

Yup, I made an admitted mistake as I barely skimmed a side issue Owl was
pushing. You and Sandman are now trolling me over it... even though you
claimed to KF me. 

Man, what a controversy!

Hey, I already said I was skimming his side issue and goofed. Yup. How many

Yeah, his 'side issue' to the real issue, your initial yanking things out of context.

Point it out (how long have you got)? You keep claiming no one can point to your "wrongs", remember? He's just pointing to one. So why are you whining about getting what you've ask for?

I guessed you would troll me on my admitted goof at least 10 times. This is
#2. All you do is troll and lie. And why? Because I proved, YEARS ago, that
you lied about your CSS:

<http://tmp.gallopinginsanity.com/sandman/sandman-archive.pdf>

You avoid speaking of it directly but have been trolling me ever since.

There are *very* few posters left in that group now, of those who remain, they're all well aware of what Snit is. He was never ousted from CSMA, he just drove most of the people who posted there away. This prompted him to find more fertile ground in COLA, which he had already been cross-trolling to. He also drove a lot of people out of COLA and at least one of his anxiety newsgroups. His 'Million Post March' based on delusion, narcissism, drama, victim mentality, hypocrisy and dishonesty kill much of the fun to be had in a newsgroup for too many. He takes overfishing the water to a toxic level. Remember this:

You wouldn't think so but it's pretty obvious Alan Baker is having a lot of fun with him and Sandman (from Sweden) wrote this post to me earlier:

Well, if the Mac guys are interested in talking to him that's fine.
He'll find a new home there and stop acting like our moral authority.

Seems he's found another one anyway in comp.sys.mac.system. Now I see why he only posted ~1200 posts to COLA last month, he also put up over 500 in CSMS. And who knows how many other groups, social media sites, etc. Like I said, is there any question the guy is chock full of sh*t when he says he's working? His 'work' is trolling and we pay for him to do it!

And they are posts with LOADS of text in them. It's not like they're
quick, Greycloud-like replies to other posts. The guy goes out of his
way to detail how and why he is morally judging every one of us.

He's lying his ass off and getting skewered over in CSMA.
Ali-Baba-Snit is like a babbling idiot.
Didn't he say in one post that his iMac was given to him by his employer?
Employer?
How can a Rainman like snit be employed and troll 24x7?
He's not.
More of snit's lies.

His recurring theme that the rest of us should feel 'guilty' for everything under the sun is designed to keep us paying ('psych' 101 on guilt). The resources for his 'degrees' could have gone to someone who would have put them to actual use. What irks me about him the most is that he constantly complains about 'the rich' but people like him are a *much* bigger problem as they are burdening the system. In the U.S. there are millions and millions of people like him... and we can't afford them. They should be put to work doing something constructive that the government usually has to pay for... with *our* money.

He was never ousted from CSMA, he just drove most of the people who posted there away. This prompted him to find more fertile ground in COLA, which he had already been cross-trolling to. He also drove a lot of people out of COLA and at least one of his anxiety newsgroups. His 'Million Post March' based on delusion, narcissism, drama, victim mentality, hypocrisy and dishonesty kill much of the fun to be had in a newsgroup for too many. He takes overfishing the water to a toxic level. Remember this:

Lies! Muhammad Al-Snit Prescott Terrorist Guy is the winner and everyone
else is immoral and wrong.

Has he begun to sign his posts with Allahu Akbar yet?

It was a "just take this and get the fuck out" gift.

Er? I note my view of posts but rarely go out of my way to detail such
things. Whatever.
