Don't believe everything you read on the Internet.  Yes, I recognize this

Actually, Andrew's life is very happy.  He's full of exuberance and glee. 
We just
restrain him on this list so that it doesn't show.  It just wouldn't be fair 
to have
him flaunting his happiness in the face of the rest of us who live a life of 
tedium
and despair on the Cygwin list...
