I did not say that I found the announcements obnoxious. I do find them
arguably off-topic and given the volume of submissions to this mailing
list, anything that I can do to decrease traffic, I will do.
I specifically asked for feedback from other people to see if your
announcements were useful. I did this because I do not use JDE in any
way, and have no idea how it would relate to cygwin. However, I did not
want to arbitrarily stop a service that others considered beneficial.
I tried very hard to keep the tone of my message nonconfrontational but
apparently I failed and somehow managed to convey a level of rancor which
was not actually there. I apologize for whatever it was that you found
objectional in my query.
