Surprisingly, that actually sounded like a message from Ed C. Lueless...

I don't know and I don't care - as far as I'm concerned, free beer[*] is a
Good Thing!

Hey! I really need to pee too, and I've been waiting ages, and nobody's
done anything about it yet! When do you think you will have this pee patch
ready? I can't believe I've been waiting all this time for a piss and cygwin
still hasn't sorted it out yet! Don't you want to make cygwin even more
useful for your customers?
cheers,
DaveK

Um, I think you meant "peach, love, and *fruit* stands" (or is that
"peach, passion fruit, and..." um...) ;-)
