This is why I like to use the term “*nix” with a meaning that has
nothing to do with the trademark, for how a system is supposed to
work. POSIX is a core part of that, of course. But there’s a lot

while Apple’s OSes do not.

did someone elect you to be the newsgroup cop ,

 Nope.
 Why is it people like you assume that a comment is an attempt to police?
 Or since you're commenting about me, can I assume you think YOU've been elected?
 

or did you just elect yourself and then start ,
either way we got a problem due to the fact ,
that i do as i please here

 As do I.
 The difference is:
 You whine about it.
 

do you have a paragraph you would like to submit here ,
i thought i saw you talking about you
