Re: man uses more by default

Yeah, who cares if you're the only one using your machine? Many years as a sysadmin of multi-user Unix systems has me trained to leave the "system" environment as generic as possible to help reduce novice user confusion, make upgrades easier, and other minimimal-support-staff type reasons which have varying degrees of success/failure. Pity the overly-clever wannabee who gets the "brilliant" idea of renaming /usr ... at least that's more interesting than "rm -rf /". :-) Okay, enough OT.
