As a rule, the account names have nothing to with the real names of the individuals behind them, and the users switch their active accounts--several times a day--depending upon where they are who they want to know they are online.
I don't want to sit staring at my "Online" list trying to remember if a given account is Teresa at work chatting with customers or Heather at home, only visible to family. I just want to know if the person to whom I want to communicate is online. Hence the need for account merging.

No wonder I didn't understand. My contacts have had the same accounts for years, and if they have multiple accounts, I'm always relegated to the "I don't want him to know I'm online, EVER" category.

We're not used to rigorously maintaining threads.

I have never respected the "original purpose" of troll threads. They've always been a place to goof around, trash talk, and make small talk.

Eh whatever.
I guess by all your standards the device works. I don't think it's broken, just too big for it's own shoes. Even when the device first came out.
Here's hoping another *can* find use in mine, I still think some of you guys should have posting suspended for some of the things you said about me.
But I guess your circle-jerking is a true testament to how corrupted with ignorance a community can become. Bravo regulars and your carte-blanche permission to hate on your terms.

I haven't seen qole's latest work (I've got an older version of Easy-debian installed, but it's working great so haven't upgraded) but might that work? I know from the scripts I use that the mount -o bind /home/user/ line would need to be adjusted, but other than that...
