I used "mailing list" once when I meant newsgroup and it should have been clear from context. I used "mailing list" once when I meant distribution and that was also clear from context. I apologize for this and the myriad of other typos that appear in my email. However, I'm sure you know that commenting on typos and misspellings is known bad netiquette. I'm actually surprised that you would stoop to it; especially when I wasn't flaming you personally (or anyone, actually). I thought, somehow, that you had more, I don't know, dignity, maybe, than that. Live and learn, I guess. I already find the misinterpretations and strange leaps of logic in this thread discouraging. This message, however, has made me more discouraged about the cygwin community and, probably people in general, than any other in recent memory. I know that I shouldn't take your strange missives as being representative of anyone, however, I'm very very tired of all this. The level of "not getting it" represented here, is rather frightening. Please, please. Form your newsgroup and get out of here already. cgf (who sincerely sincerely wishes that he'd never responded to a single message in this thread) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
