  This is documented.  See "man users", and the comments in the "users"
file, and in the dozens of examples.

  It's because you're again not following the documentation.

  Read the documentation and follow it.  It's not rocket science.

  If you post another message indicating you've been ignoring the
documentation, you will be unsubscribed and banned.

  I've had it with people who whine about the bad documentation, and
then fanatically refuse to follow it.

  Get off your high horse about the documentation.  It's fine.

  THE PROBLEM IS YOU.
