I did not say that I found the announcements obnoxious.  I do find them
arguably off-topic and given the volume of submissions to this mailing
list, anything that I can do to decrease traffic, I will do.

I specifically asked for feedback from other people to see if your
announcements were useful.  I did this because I do not use JDE in any
way, and have no idea how it would relate to cygwin.  However, I did not
want to arbitrarily stop a service that others considered beneficial.

I tried very hard to keep the tone of my message nonconfrontational but
apparently I failed and somehow managed to convey a level of rancor which
was not actually there.  I apologize for whatever it was that you found
objectional in my query.
