He shows no greater capabilities today. I asked him a simple question about
common path names and he freaked out... and is trolling me heavily.

that was you John, but then you were running windows and bragging about
how great it was, a tune you changed once you tried a Mac!

Yeah, you have always been such a great source of tech info!

The fact that you still don't know what a ~ in a path name means isn't
my problem. You were given the answer 10 years or so ago and never
learned then so why should I waste my time trying to educate you again
now? You proved yourself dumber than a pet rock back then!

Hmmm, you are bringing up your claims from 10 years ago or so. Fine. Then
let's look at what you said. Exact quotes:

But do not worry - Sandman is sure to follow up on this by posting long,
convoluted stories about how the above somehow is a sign I was wrong when I
noted the tilde generally means the user's home folder. Sandman is a nasty
troll, but he does take care of his pets well.

#6Snit: Sandman hijacks thread and engages in role reversal. He also blames ME of bringing up 10 years ago when Tim Adams does it, and links to his trolling website
