I find the statement unambiguous but I'm not sure how you mean it.

Are you suggesting (which I suspect) that:
http://simonstl.com/#

is in fact the same as:
http://simonstl.com/

and if so, do you accept the use of http://simonstl.com/# as something
different from http://simonstl.com/ ?

Just looking for a clarification, to the extent that clarity has any
meaning in this area.
