Format a NTFS hard drive in 10.3 - NOT
Authored by: macslut on Apr 22, '05 09:41:34PM

"Macslut is both rude and ignorant."

Great, at least 3 people have posted here that they were confused about what the title meant. I'm the first to point it out, get called idiotic, and now called ignorant by you, and somehow I'm the rude one.

"It would be interesting to know how to "NTFS format a drive" or "format a drive with NTFS" using a mac."

I totally agree, which is why I clicked on the article's title in the first place (thinking it could not be done). Apparently, I'm not alone as others see the confusion as well. By the rules of our English language, it is an ambiguously written title. Disagree and call me every 4 letter word in the book, but it doesn't change the *fact* that as demonstrated, the article's title confuses people.

I am the original poster of this hint. I see now how the title could have been confusing or misleading. Perhaps I should have called it "DE-format an NTSF hard drive in 10.3.
It was my first post on this site, and I apologize for any confusion.
That said, I do have to comment on one thing. Macslut, I can understand why you may have been confused by the title of the hint, but based on your first comment in this thread, it seems you didn't understand the hint itself either.
I guess the lesson to learn from this is to take a moment to think and proofread before clicking the SUBMIT COMMENT button.

If 3 people here think that the title is something other than what it was, then there are two non-mutually exclusive possibilities: a) The title is misleading, or b) The 3 people are ignorant.

We have established that a) is not the case, which implies that b) is the case. Please move on.
