I just wanted to take a moment to thank the good people at cygwin for their help in getting me to the correct mailing list. Apparently, the url all by itself marked "the cygwin mailing list" (with a link to this list) did not apply to my situation (I was looking at the how can I help page, I seem to have missed the mailing lists when I went to that page because there was a lot of text I did not scroll down far enough). So, I would like to thank Mark Harig for politely pointing me in the right direction.
I understand the stress level for some list maintainers may be high, so I apologize to anyone who was offended by my earliest attempts to get through. In my defense, my message roughly adhered to the conventions of the Debian bugs mailing list, which I at the time thought would've been sufficiently similar, after all it was only a bug report, but apparently that is not the case. X related issues must be addressed to the X mailing list, using an exclamation point after thanking someone sets off the spam filter, and config shall be sent by attachment. I do think it is important to be polite to new members who try hard to adhere to conventions, reading essays by ERS, et.al.. Not every list is alike and one often does not acquire all necessary information the first time around.
