can you guys please quote more context for those of us who don't read the cygwin main list.

do you still have something against top posting ( in this case, I'm just making a general comment
and the post to which I'm replyng properly belongs in an appendix at the bottom of message LOL).

No thanks.

And, yes, top-posting is still bad for all of the same reasons.

And, *forwarding* email rather than replying to it just exposes you
as rather clueless wrt email.

It wasn't that hard to find.

My message was about the quote and had nothing to do with setup.exe,
so I didn't think the context was relevant.  That contributed to
moving it to the talk list.
