Feel free to provide an awk script which implements the

I think it would dramatically improve your chance to get
your proposals accepted, if you would try to understand what
your counterpart says.
In my last email, I tried to communicate to you that you are
putting words into my mouth. Nobody likes that, especially if
you get it wrong. You have now succeeded in getting things
wrong again (no, I did not defend the choice of Perl and
never accused you of being anti-Perl, nor did I ever say that
I dislike automake or GNU make).
Thanks,
