Maybe he didn't get your original post?

DJGPP is maintained by a group of volunteers.  Before we can do
*anything* about a bug, we need to (1) understand it, (2) reproduce
it, and (3) find time to work on it.  If you take the feedback from
ONE volunteer as representative of the whole group, you're going to be
disappointed.

> Second strike. Congrats.

If you want your problem solved, you have to work with us for a while.
If you're going to be nasty about it just because you're not getting a
perfect (to you) response, you might as well go away now.  We can't
please people as picky as you are.
