38.3. Where to Go For Help (Revision #15)

The author will infrequently, if not too busy (and in a good mood), answer general scripting questions.¹ If you have a problem getting a particular script to work, you would be well advised to post to the comp.os.unix.shell Usenet newsgroup.

If you need assistance with a schoolwork assignment, read the pertinent sections of this and other reference works. Do your best to solve the problem using your own wits and resources. Please do not waste the author's time. You will get neither help nor sympathy.²

Likewise, kindly refrain from annoying the author with solicitations, offers of employment, or "business opportunities." He is doing just fine, and requires neither help nor sympathy, thank you.

... sophisticated in mechanism but possibly agile operating under noises being extremely suppressed ...
