For your own peace of mind while reading the list, put a :-) or
;-) after everything you read from cgf and it becomes hilarious.
As it turns out, that's sometimes even the intent. ;-)

Since a continuation of the thread in this new direction is really
off-topic for this list, I'd suggest if you have a follow-up that
you'd like to make or if there are others that would like to, it's
best to <http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#TITTTL>.   I've reset the "Reply-To"
to facilitate the move.
