Re: How the Heck do I use MacFuse (In English)

Considering how many times myself and others have corrected such statements, sometimes I cannot really bring myself to believe that the intentions behind spreading such disinformation are well meaning. :) When large scale magazines and prominent bloggers publish incorrect information on how to access NTFS volumes I don't find much comfort in the fact that they were "well-meaning". Call it utilitarianism if you want to. 

But still, I admit that I could have expressed myself in a better way.

If we could only find a way to bring Religion or the Windows/Mac/Linux debate into this thread. VI or Emacs? VI or VIM? Edlin? BBedit or Textmate? Coda or Espresso? Journaling or Non-Journaling FS? Anonymous vs Scientology? yawn....

    Maybe I just got out bed the wrong way but this just rubs me the
    wrong way and I see people (mostly young ones) use the word "lie"
    when they should use the word "misstatement" or "incorrect".
    According to my dictionary "lie" means "an intentionally false
    statement" and as such is an accusation of the speaker when the
    actual intentions are completely unknown and in fact most likely
    well intentioned in this case.
