Hello, moderator?

Your statements are simply not correct... and it's not the job of each
and every application to inflict upon the system its opinion of what
"standard unix behaviour" should be.  Just imagine if this were the case
and you had 15 different apps each thinking the "standard unix
behaviour" was something different -- or worse, something completely
contradictory.

I'm not sure discussing "Standard unix behaviour" would be productive
here...

Sorry.
