You might want to {re,}read the section in http://cygwin.com/problems.html which talks about referring to a problem as "the problem". I'll quote it here: # Do not assume that your problem is so trivial or so "well known" that it does not require any details or background from you. Many (most?) people who report problems fall into the trap of assuming that people are "clued into" their mental state when, in most cases, this is not the case. As a rule of thumb, if you find yourself referring to your problem as the problem with XYZ rather than a problem with XYZ then your message is suspect. Using the in this context means that you are assuming that your problem is well known. Unless you can point to an email message thread or FAQ entry (either of which is a good idea, btw) please do not assume that the readers of your message will be familiar with your problem. 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/
