X-IsSubscribed:	yes

Of course.  And if you were charging for your services, they would be
right.  The customer is always right.  (Within reason.)  But when you
are volunteering your time and efforts, it is reasonable to expect
that you expect at minimum some common courtesy and appreciation for
your effort.  Just for the record, I for one really appreciate your
efforts, and the efforts of everyone else working so hard to not only
provide a great software like cygwin for free, but even provide free
help for those who need it.

Thank You Very Much!

Bill
