I used "mailing list" once when I meant newsgroup and it should have been
clear from context.  I used "mailing list" once when I meant distribution
and that was also clear from context.  I apologize for this and the
myriad of other typos that appear in my email.

However, I'm sure you know that commenting on typos and misspellings is
known bad netiquette.  I'm actually surprised that you would stoop to it;
especially when I wasn't flaming you personally (or anyone, actually).
I thought, somehow, that you had more, I don't know, dignity, maybe,
than that.  Live and learn, I guess.

I already find the misinterpretations and strange leaps of logic in this
thread discouraging.  This message, however, has made me more
discouraged about the cygwin community and, probably people in general,
than any other in recent memory.  I know that I shouldn't take your
strange missives as being representative of anyone, however, I'm very
very tired of all this.  The level of "not getting it" represented
here, is rather frightening.

Please, please.  Form your newsgroup and get out of here already.
