Whew. Thanks for wording that better than what I was managing. :-)

Ooooohh, now you've done it! Now I have to suppress a slightly-snide and 
rather anime-esque comment on /your/ .sig. ;-)

So, you like the random rotater? At the moment my collection is 33 
signatures long, and only two have not been rotated in at all, yet.

Wait... make that 35. :-)

Thanks.

So what kind of response would you expect to my mail?  More "thin
intelligence", "foolish" responses?

Yeah there is that and I resisted the urge to say something about
foolish consistencies, too.

Um, yes, that would sound more Yoda-ish...  Perhaps I should've used

Are you asking if I thought your response was reasonable and 
non-inflammatory (yes; it helped /me/ step back and start thinking again 
:-)), or if I think infoterror is a troll? Or do I just not understand 
the question?

Right, I was also busy doing that, only all I was managing to write was 
troll food. Fortunately I realized that, and gave up.

Speaking of vIMprovements, I don't find the fact that VIm's tab completion
for files in command mode became case-insensitive particularly convenient.
In fact, it's been annoying me to no end for the past month or so.
Anyone know how to turn that off?  Before you ask, scouring VIm's
documentation for "tab completion" didn't help ('infercase' isn't for
that, and my 'ignorecase' and 'smartcase' are turned off).

Sorry, can't help... I use vim for quick-and-dirty editing; my skills 
with it are abysmal compared to those of a real vim guru.

Anyway, isn't this the point where I say "this isn't a Cygwin question; 
please ask on the vim mailing list"? ;-) I assume you've tried there? (I 
watch vim-dev@, not vim@) Alternatively you could try mailing Bram 
directly, although it seems his availability is lower-than-usual at the 
moment.

  Must have been the recent mentions of meow[*] that brought him in.

  He's not really got with the program, though, has he?

"  Infoterror is the art of persuading others to see your point, online,
without limiting yourself to polite discourse? Why? Most people do not
understand debate or argument, so they make noise and pretend they're
philosophers. How do you communicate? The answer: you troll them. Like any
other propaganda, it becomes effective when people see it often enough and see
its enemies without response. Make fools of the fools. Mock what is useless.
And most of all: always present a working answer.  "

  I didn't see him present any "working answer".

  Actually, I didn't see him "persuading others to see his point" either.

  On the other hand, I did see him not understanding debate or argument, and
pretending to be some kind of philosopher.  And he does appear to have fallen
for the line that trolling is a successful strategy for communicating with
people.

  So I give him 3 out of 10 for an unimaginative opening gambit, a lame
pseudo-philosophical justification, pat armchair-psychiatric diagnoses, and
really a total lack of anything new or innovative in his approach to trolling.
And even /that/ is just because I'm feeling generous and benignly
well-disposed to the world at large today  :-D

Btw, I have a suspicion that this could be the same guy who was getting
increasingly annoyed that his email was being archived on gcc.gnu.org
"without his permission".  He spammed the fortran and gcc mailing lists
and, then, subsequently, the overseers mailing list.  He called himself
gnuterror at one point.

Or maybe *terror is just a popular alias to cowardly hide behind.

Unfortunately, it seems to be working. That, or he's using a second 
(non-Nabble) alias to talk to himself about how he is single-handedly 
going to "Fix Things" (which might qualify as 'presenting a working 
answer').

Wow, sure seems like a lot of ad hominem directed towards cgf in all this 
'logical' argument!

Next, he'll be spouting some ad hippoem, then watch out for the revenge of 
the hippos!
