Then your memory is faulty. Too much fruit of the brewery? Posts of 
which mine was a caricature are a regular feature. Evidently Chris 
thought so, too. I reviewed a few samples of the genre to get ideas on 
how to compose my own feeble attempt at humor.

And I take exactly none of the compliment or gratitude as accruing to 
my benefit, so perhaps it was out of line for me to write what I did, 
but it was meant strictly as humor.

I sure hope I haven't given the impression that I feel otherwise. I 
talk Cygwin up a lot outside this forum.

And the warts themselves become ever fewer and more negligible.
