cygwin-apps is a subscriber-only mailing list devoted to a specific
purpose. Since the OpenGL message was just a request for help and the
OP had already appropriately sent similar messages to the main cygwin
list, they were unsubscribed from cygwin-apps.
I usually rely on someone telling off-topic posters that they are
off-topic but in this case that didn't happen.
