There is a difference between "I have no obligation to answer each and
every message" and "I cannot find a coherent answer to several messages".
One difference is that the first one is true, and the second one is
false. As you've seen by now, people were looking for something
sinister in a simple delay.
I know of at least four companies I've worked with/for that *rely* on
gcc and that would switch to Linux/BSD if gcc was not available on Windows.
I am surprised by this statement, because in general I don't expect
that very many users would switch to a different operating system just
to use GCC. Nonetheless, I would be interested in talking with them
to see what they say about this.
