        Yup. That is not broken behaviour; it is creating an
 attribution exactly as it was designed to do.

        So they think UNIX, which they tried so hard to copy, is a

 Linux is a Toy, I, and the people I work/play with, continue to think
 their efforts created a Toy OS that shall never come close to our
 work spaces.
