No. RTFM responses (and STFW and STFMLA) SHOULD go on the list. The problem is, you only need ONE. There's no need to pile on. If the obvious answer to a question is RTFM, and someone has already posted that, there's no need for you to do so. The only time there should be multiple RTFM responses to the same person's question is when duplicate responses "cross in the mail". --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
