No foo at bar dot com. A real email address. Sounds reasonable to me - anyone silly enough to ask the cygwin list to clarify third-party information should be pointed instead to that third-party, which is exactly what you did. We have been trying (seemingly to no avail) to convince people that the methods at the pigtail website are simply wrong and/or outdated when it comes to easily installing ssh on a cygwin system, and that the documentation that comes with the cygwin port of ssh is the best source to follow. > > I actually checked first to make sure that his email address showed up > elsewhere on the web. > > If people think this is a horrible thing then I'll remove his address > from the archives but I kind of wanted to have his email address > archived, too for future reference. But, perhaps I erred in doing this. Nah - keep it in there. At any rate, I wouldn't remove that post unless Mr. Fong personally requested it (just like we don't answer to third-party advice, you shouldn't remove an email address due to third-party complaints). > > I'd be interested in hearing the opinions of the sane members of this > mailing list. Oops - I guess that means you can take whatever I said above, and feed it to the hippos. Is anyone on this list sane? -- Eric Blake
