Well, everyone else on this list probably respects Eli's many great
contributions to the DJGPP project very highly.  And in case you haven't
noticed everyone seems to disagree with you in this matter, maybe that
should give you some kind of hint that maybe you aren't right here!

And besides, complaining the way you do, most certainly won't make anyone
respect you, but I guess you don't give a damn about that, since you act
the way you do, which I personally think is resentful!

Give it up now, everyone thinks you are wrong flaming someone (especially
Eli) for pointing you to the faq.  If you aren't satisfyed with an answer
you get, either ignore it (not recommended), or reply in a decent way, and
say that the answer you got didn't quite answer your question. (in this
case, just say that you couldn't find the answer in the FAQ and ask again
more specific).  But why on earth would you want to flame someone for
trying to help you.  I just don't get it.  Either you are plain stupid, and
don't know any better, and in this case there isn't much to do about it,
and I'm sorry for your sake, or you are looking for a flame, and in that
case I suggest you go elsewhere!
