I have seen many people (and have done this myself before I subscribed) participate in the discussion of their specific topic on the list without subscribing by watching the public archive of the list for updates to their topics and crafting the response email manually. It is more complicated if you do need to reply, but for many problem reports that have very simple/quick answers, watching the public archive is more than sufficient for these people. -- Erik -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
