You cygwin guys are just great!  I've been subscribed to the list for 
three years now and I get annoyed with the OT posts that other users 
that point out.  Some of the OT mails get responses that demonstrate the 
meannness of the cygwin maintainers, and honelstly, I am entertained, 
thinking that the OT poster must probably very annoyed at the responses, 
which usually doesn't make him respond anymore.   

Truth to tell, I was annoyed by cgf, Igor, and Dave's  responses  and 
that was great since, for the first time, I experienced the meanness of 
this list, which is nice and entertaining.   

Cygwin people, you really are 
M-E-A-N!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

... and entertaining :)

It's just 1.44 mb written on /dev/hda.  I'll just be looking for the 
partition maps at /proc/kcore or re-write some supreblocks...
