Thanks very much for this positive note.
I was hoping that my original message would generate a lot of discussion
because I thought that it would give DJ and myself an opportunity to
explain something about Cygnus/Cygwin as well as providing a venue
for everyone else to provide their outlook.
It may not be obvious but I do appreciate any and all feedback on this
issue. It certainly helps educate me on people's perception of my
company and my product. I do want to understand what people think
about this.
That doesn't mean that I won't argue with perceptions that I think
are wrong but I certainly respect everyone's right to an opinion.
Again, thanks to you and to the handful of other people who sent me
private supportive email. I appreciate it.
