Or use Google, since he claims to be able to use it well. He claims to
be proficient at Google, so I didn't see a need to tell him about it,
since I can't ever tell when his head is going to explode.

However, even if he was overstating his abilities at searching, the
FAQ for this group (which he now has, but clearly hasn't bothered to
read) points out where to get FAQs related to this group, which
include the zsh FAQ.

Personally, I'm not going to feed the troll anymore.
