Well. I personally haven't made up my mind about Karl as I don't have
enough information on which to make any kind of reasonable decision.
There's a fair possibility that his interest in learning about bash is
completely genuine but that his approach so far has been misguided. I
was trying to get across the point to him that this approach could be
misconstrued in a negative way by others.
I'll keep quiet now,
