FYI, the cygwin mailing list does not deal with complaints about sourceware.org infrastructure issues. If you feel the need to complain about this then send email to the overseers mailing list at sourceware.org. You are going to need to be specific, about what you are griping about, however, if you don't want to come across as something other than a complainer. For instance, you are asking to have your email address removed while sending from an email address which could not possibly have existed in the 1999 time period. So, even if I was inclined to help you, I have no way of figuring out what you are talking about. And, pragmatically speaking, some politeness would probably help if you are suggesting that someone should do something and want your suggestion to be viewed in a light that would be conducive to having someone help you. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
