And that's five.  I'm not exactly an awk specialist, but I've seen you
post to comp.os.linux.misc for a few years already, and I can well
remember dozens of other samples of your questionable behavior on
Usenet.

You, Sir, are rude, ill-mannered, selfish and utterly ungrateful towards
the people who are helping you with your homework assignments.  And
that is why I shall be redirecting your posts to "/dev/null" from here
on.
