Witness here the internet phenomenon where a one sentence throwaway line made four months ago can cause multi-paragraph responses.
I'll try to make the point again: If you are looking for help for software then the closer you can get to the source of the software the better the help is likely to be. This is obviously not always going to be the case. Sending email to the linux-kernel mailing list about a "command not found" error is not likely to garner you much help. However, asking for help in a Fedora forum about Fedora problems is likely to get you some nicely specific help. And, when you download software from a site called cygwin.com which has a link called "Reporting Problems" then it certainly makes sense to start there for help. Warren, this is the second time that you have seemed to be annoyed with me about something I said that was not intended to be a slight or an insult. I apologize for any tone in my email which has caused you to think that I hold you or stackoverflow in scorn. I have linked to stackoverflow here previously. I know it is a valuable resource. I know that you are also a valuable resource to the Cygwin community in your own right. I'm not interested in expanding the scope of my tech support to include working with you to improve Cygwin information on stackoverflow. However, if you want to do that then I'm sure the whole interwebs would benefit. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
