What a way to start this day!  Ladies and gentemen, here we have the 
live episode of the ranting, maligning, 
rants-against-abusive-behaviour-discussions on the cygwin-talk list.    
Aside from Lionel B.,  I would have to declare that this thread is again 
getting to be enjoyable!

CGF *doesn't* need to change.  IIRC, cgf says he writes the way he 
writes because it's fun.   I really still can't believe that some take 
the cygwin meanness very seriously  to the point of being concerned 
about the behaviour of cgf.  Really!

The cygwin list has become a list where where the cygwin gurus have set 
the culture of letting people learn to help themselves first before 
anything else.  That's the reason for the thousands of times when 
postings are answered with "go to "http://cygwin.com/problems.html" or 
"goto http://cygwin.com/lists.html", or, with a pointer to the correct 
list.  In that way, people are taught to help themselves first before 
wasting other people's time.  You've all known that adage "Give a man a 
fish! You feed him for a day.  Teach the man to fish!  You feed him for 
life."   Teaching men to fish, IMHO, is what cgf has been trying to do.  
He has his own style of doing it and his style is mean.    But this 
meanness is just a matter of  style.  It is not evil.  It would take a 
certain maturity level on the cygwin list  (e.g. someone probably needs 
to have been subscribed to the list for a year or so)  for anyone to 
understand that this meanness is style and a humorous style and not a 
lack maturity .  

If someone does not see this meanness as a unique way of being humorous, 
IMHO, this someone has not been mature enough to understood the cygwin 
mailing list.  Thus, if all these 
cgf-is-abusive-and-has-to-change-blah-blah-blah  talk is taken very 
seriously, I must concede that all this is in the mind. 

And, if anyone really really takes the meannness seriously, he has to 
probably step back and get a good meta view of the whole issue ;)

Hmmm, if I took all these seriously, I would say:

CGF, YOU'RE MEAN, YOU'RE NUTS, YOU GOTTA CHANGE.  WHY DO YOU ACT THAT 
WAY?  WHY WHY WHY?  CAN'T YOU BEHAVE FOR ONCE IN THIS  FREAKING MAILING 
LIST? AREN'T YOU CONCERNED THAT PEOPLE ARE GETTING CONCERNED WITH YOUR 
BEHAVIOUR????  WHY DON'T YOU ANSWER NOW AND AND NOT AVOID THE ISSUE.  
YOU ARE AFRAID, YOU CGF. AREN'T YOU?  I GUESS YOU ARE.  CGF, 
EVILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, WEEEEEEEEEEEE,  WE BETTER GET SCARED!!!!!!!!.  CGF 
IS HERE TO HAUNT US FOEVER........WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH......


Best Regards,

Carlo
