[Please trim email addresses from bodies so they do not appear in archives!] Outlook TOFU email posting style is manageable for a one-on-one personal email thread, but it's a mess when you have posters providing minimal information in each response to requests for more info, from multiple volunteer respondents who would like to understand enough to help, or multiple subthreads with followups in different directions. Some maintainers are extremely busy with limited time to either respond here, or upgrade or diagnose and fix problems with packages, so just won't respond to TOFU, posters who provide insufficient information, or think there is a company or employees providing Cygwin products and support, rather than all being volunteers, and who expect or demand immediate "mystical" support in response to a message like "something broke and we think it might be Cygwin". Others here will try to pry enough information from posters to point them in a useful direction, or provide enough comprehensible information in a format that busy maintainers can quickly read and address an issue with a package. -- Take care.
