Danilo You know the saying, "If things can go wrong, they *?!"*:$*! will", well in an infuriating way, they did... You now know now that I've not experienced mailing lists before. So I've never had to filter mails before. That's one part of the story... When I sign up to a newsgroup I automatica

Re: An apology...

Stephen, You know, we're trying to be reasonable with you here, but you don't seem to be willing to meet us half way. Try a more realistic example of a search related to a Cygwin tool, feature, problem, procedure etc. To search using Google, try its "Advanced" search page (
