While I understand that Cygwin cannot be responsible for what third parties say about its configuration, it shouldn't be entirely mysterious why a lot of people see that site first, and then ask here. If you google for "cygwin sshd configuration" the first four hits are on erdelynet.com. I don't think it's that outrageous that someone would google first, try the instructions presented in the results, and then seek out the official mailing list when that doesn't work. Or, in other words, "Cygwin is cygwin, why should it matter where I saw the instructions?" I don't think it would be wasteful to add a simple FAQ entry along the lines of "Q: I'm having problems with my sshd configuration, can you help? A: Yes, please read /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/sshd.README. Only those instructions are supported on the mailing list, if you still need help."
