15 Gentlemen, please...can we talk about me for a minute?
16 Though entertaining, this byplay eats into my allotted fifteen minutes of fame. ;-)

18 Besides, you really want something like:
19
20 echo "knowledge of $(unset last; for ACRONYM in ${LinkedIn[*]};
21 do echo -n ${last:+,}$arg; last=$arg; done)."
22

24 point that out.
