Greg,

Your ad hominem attacks against Peng Yu are deeply unfair, and have
no place on a mailing list dedicated to help people understand and use
bash more effectively. I for one have enjoyed Peng Yu's probing bash
questions, even if I don't have a deep enough grasp of bash to answer
many of them. He has never attacked you personally, please treat him
with respect.
