    Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

    They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

    What are you looking for? Seems you are low on disk space.


    I messed up last Sunday when I wiped and reinstalled, so decided that
    before I repaired matters, I'd run another EtreCheck scan and keep it
    'in the cloud'!

    It gave me a little more practice with using Terminal.

    Here's where things stood just before I hit 'return':-

    The bonus, of course, is that I no longer have ANY of the tools from The Eclectic Light Company installed on my computer. :-D

    Why did you wipe and reinstall?

    I remember a time, not that long ago, when you claimed that you would
    never use that software because you didn't trust it, or its primary
    developer. Is an apology in order?
