Then your memory is faulty. Too much fruit of the brewery? Posts of
which mine was a caricature are a regular feature. Evidently Chris
thought so, too. I reviewed a few samples of the genre to get ideas on
how to compose my own feeble attempt at humor.
And I take exactly none of the compliment or gratitude as accruing to
my benefit, so perhaps it was out of line for me to write what I did,
but it was meant strictly as humor.

I sure hope I haven't given the impression that I feel otherwise. I
talk Cygwin up a lot outside this forum.
