It's all a bit philosophical...

As far as I remember, I never suggested having a 'spider' group, but 
there are circumstances where it might be useful. But for your average 
(or even quite unusual) user, the standard linux LSB action of using the 
same name for both group and user is by far the best thing to do.

In fact, I would go so far as to suggest there are probably only a 
couple of sysops that need to consider using a different group name to 
user name. One of them is me. And then only on a couple of nodes of the 
four that I have anything to do with (one of which is on my development 
machine and only appears when I testing something from there).

Also I don't control the wiki. Anyone that is registered can change the 
text.
