[OS X TeX] local vs. global symlink

[Claus Gerhardt]

In my home directory are 11 "folders" and nothing else. Two of the  
folders are symlinks  texmf and texprograms and I can't detect any  
clutter or pollution by junk . I already encountered similar  
reactions about the questions if one could place a symlink texmf in  
~/ as I did, but these reactions are very difficult to understand -  
at least for someone like me.
