If not, then I clearly wasn't talking about you.
No, it wasn't clear. When you said "It's not a vague hint", it wasn't clear if you meant "It's a clear instruction" or "It's not a hint at all". I certainly was sending email to a publically archived mailing list and included a raw email address, which is what the quoted text refers to. In any case, thanks for the clarification. -- Dan Harkless http://harkless.org/dan/ -- 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/
