Yes, some folks do care. I do quite a bit of stuff in bash, and the single, most expert help in the form of good practice teaching was from Jon LaBadie, on the amanda list. Tricks that I didn't know bash could do, are both efficient and child's play for Jon. Like me, he's been at it for a long time, and growing less active on the amanda list. Me, I make noise just to let folks know the old fart is still around, or when I need help. My next b-day in about 6 weeks, will be my 86th.
