*sigh* this isn't question of courage. it's a question of futility. If you want to help people write better shell scripts (e.g. more standard compliant) join the bash project and provide them with built in lint facilities. Or write a shell lint and evangelize it's usage. Failing to accommodate reality isn't courage, it's denial. Keith H.
