absolutely nothing because the_whole_world_knows_that_mike-a-harris_ 
prefers_ftp_
and you_can_find_his_stuff_under_ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris_

forget it and think about
"how can somebody find the stuff for what he is looking at 
protocol://people.redhat.com/~$USER"


eg.
do you know harald hoyer ?
how can i find his stuff ?
what is his username ?
does he prefers ftp or http ?


via ftp but not http at people.redhat.com i could find his stuff because 
i don´t know his username.


http://people.redhat.com/harald/
ftp://people.redhat.com/harald/


bye and end
