Well, *I* don't.  But, possibly that's because I didn't think of it
first.  :-)

I agree that cygwin users seem to be getting both more helpless and
more entitled.

One theory of mine is that I keep tweaking the web pages when I notice
common problems.  I've probably added enough words to the web page that
people are thinking "No way am I going to read that!  I'll just send
email to postmaster!"  Btw, cygwin email to postmaster is also at an
all time high...
