No need to get snippy, it's a discussion forum. We agree to disagree.

Thanks for the last bit of info, good to learn something new.

Re: the horse part:
You missed out on the last part of the reason why riders always mount a horse from the left side:
Quote:
a horse who's been taught to accept being mounted only from one side may be perfectly docile when the rider clambers aboard on that side, yet spook and refuse to stand still if approached from the unfamiliar direction.
(from http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mhorsemounting.html )

And it is a bad idea to login as root since you are not usually accustomed to having the system do whatever you say (no matter how stupid it is). Even in OS 9, the system prevented you from removing essentials like the System Folder.
One of the most valuable things about 'sudo' is that all your actions are logged - so you can go back and figure out later what you might have done wrong.
