Hi All...

I propose we set up a second Cygwin mailing list with a monthly fee of say 
$20.00. This list would be for the rude and inconsiderate people who can't 
say thank you for all they get for free here. People who behave poorly on 
this list can be blocked and referred to the alternate list. I don't propose 
that anyone actually review the other list. If they are dumb enough to 
behave that way here, perhaps they are dumb enough to pay $20.00 per month 
for nothing instead of paying nothing for all that is available here.

This reminds me of the story about a group of fleas that got together to 
complain when their dog was so inconsiderate as to die (without regard for 
their view on the subject).

If you really want to get a developer's attention, start your message with 
You incompetent fool, what were you thinking when you implemented...

I assure you that you will get the developer's attention!

Good luck in your future maturation.

...Karl
