  Hey, we left one out!  

*  Any time someone posts one of those disclaimers, take a sip.  If it's part
of a huge sig and trailer that's longer than the entire body of their post,
take a glug.  If it's more than twice as many lines, take a double glug.  If
it's more than five times as many lines, finish your drink and get another.

  Well, you /did/ just post one of those disclaimers.

  And at twenty-two lines long, it /was/ more than five times the size of your
one-line body content!

  Hmm, I guess I'd better go back and snip it out before I end up doing the
same thing.  But at least I've provided enough lines of text to keep the ratio
down, even if I were to quote it YA time....

I think we have to get Dave sedated quickly.

Could someone send a short message to the cygwin-apps list which
mentions that make 3.81 broke MS-DOS paths building an application that
no one has heard of, wonders if the issue would be fixed in B20, asks
how to download B20, and then uses a really long disclaimer signature?

I don't know if that will be sufficient but it should at least help.

  "Mr. Chuck" is the evil invisible hippo who sits on my left shoulder and
makes me type all those bad things.  I would be all sweetness and light all
the time if it wasn't for "Mr. Chuck".  He wants to make me do bad things.

  Sometimes, late at night, he whispers in my ear.  He tells me I have to KILL
KILL KILL KILL THEM KILL THEM KILL THEM ALL.  I don't want to have to kill
anyone but I'm scared he's going to make me do it.

  Please, you've got to help me escape from "Mr. Chuck".  I hope he hasn't
seen me write this.  I'm afraid of him.  His evil staring eyes dig into my
mind like a hot wire in the brain.  It hurts, it hurts so bad I'd do anything
to make it stop..... make it stop ....    make him

  "Mr. chuck"!?!  I think I'm going to have to take offence!

  That's going to be fun to watch.  It's a neat trick if you can manage it....

  but he quoted his entire earlier post.  *sip*.  Including the disclaimer.
*sip*

  However, at least he got his ratio of body-text lines to trailer lines down
below the threshold with that long rant!

  Body line count: 8

  Ratio: 3:1

  Hence:  *glug* *glug*

  Also, this is a duplicate of his previous post, which was already answered.:
*sip*.
