Even people who are often wrong can make valid arguments. You should focus on the argument, not the person. And of course I wasn't wrong before, just like I wasn't wrong now. You *thought* I was wrong, which is very different. The only difference between then and now is that this time there was a 100% objective way for me to prove that I'm right. Either way it shouldn't matter: you have your opinions, I have mine. It's OK to disagree. But past discussions have no bearing on present arguments. Also, I would like to point out that you said this "SAVEHIST greater than HISTSIZE is always equivalent to its being equal to HISTSIZE as we have said repeatedly", but you don't speak for everyone, and if you look at the thread *nobody* agreed with what you said except one other person, and *nobody* repeated anything. You made the claim once, and Roman said the same claim once. No repeating. And then you said "please read mails more carefully before making such firm assertions". Maybe you should follow your own advice and then you would realize that nobody agreed with you in this thread, except one person. My advice to you is focus on the ball, not the player. This is not a competition, the objective is to improve zsh, not score points. If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong, but I'm not wrong just because you say so. And just for record since you didn't state it explicitly: are we in agreement that SAVEHIST being bigger than HISTSIZE does have an effect? In fact, this whole sidetrack reinforces my original point that people do not necessarily understand SAVEHIST and HISTSIZE, even zsh expert veterans. Cheers. -- Felipe Contreras
