here we go again. :-( I thought we had reached a consensus on this issue
a long time ago?

 |     /etc/profile: do not add ~/bin to $PATH in system-wide init file
 |
 |     Users who want a user-specific bin directory to override system paths should
 |     configure that in their user-specific ~/.bashrc, not in the system-wide init
 |     file. The global file shouldn't add directories from user homes to $PATH
 |     without knowing whether those actually exist or whether the users even want
 |     them in $PATH. On my system, for example, there is no ~/bin, so I don't want my
 |     $PATH to look for one. Removing an erroneous entry from $PATH is cumbersome,
 |     but adding one is easy, so it feels better to err on the side of caution.

Take care,
Peter
