here here! i'd like to add that i'm getting fed up of reading sarcastic
comments from cgf since i rejoined the mailing list.

this particular gem:

( http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-07/msg00682.html )

the sole comment to an entire post sums up for me a very
arrogant attitude towards people with less knowledge who
need help.

this forum (i hope) was never meant as a personal sarcasm
area and to read it it's very annoying.

if you don't have something constructive to say, lay off laying
into people.
