Yes.  That may be true, and if that is how the program works, why doesn't 
it tell me??  When it says it is "off topic" I think "spam blocker."  How 
hard would it be to have the thing reply by recommending either the xfree 
list or the http://cygwin.com/cygwin/lists.html web page.  It's current 
behavior is unhelpful.  Your reply was also unnecessarily insulting.
