Dave:

I examined your email headers and discovered that in your postings to 
cygwin AT cygwin DOT com, you are setting
"Return-Path: <dave DOT korn DOT cygwin AT googlemail DOT com>" in your email header so 
naturally everyone who is "replying" to sender will be sending YOU their 
reply, not cygwin AT cygwin DOT com.  This could explain why you are getting so 
much direct replies.  There may be those who are abusing the priviledge 
by bypassing the mailing list, but I was not aware of this problem and 
never intended to go outside the mailing list.

                                                                           
Paul McFerrin,
