Because I did _mean_ group markh. I had overlooked that you could
specify individual users too. Since by default all users belong to a
group named after itself, specifying as a group should work too.
one of the odd defaults many are not using
why should i have a group with the name of my user
if it has only one user - or why should i put the
user "caroline" in group "harry" except for chaos
no idea who invented this silly default, however, do not
assume all people are using defaults all the time
