I've removed the attribution entirely.  I'll let people figure out who you
are by visiting the page.

I've added some comments mentioning how stupid such an activity would
be.

I'm sorry that our link has generated extra work for you.  Even after many
years of supporting the cygwin community, it never occurred to me that I
would have to caution against sending email to people who obviously have
nothing to do with the project but, in retrospect, it seems pretty obvious
that this would be a problem.
