So do I. If it mentions Cygwin, it's relevant... if it doesn't mention Cygwin, it's not appropriate for this list... at least that's what others seem to be saying, and I tend to agree. Speaking for myself... I don't mind the occaisional off-topic announcement, but there is always a danger that they can snowball into a long non-relevant discussion thread, subverting the real purpose of this list. I've seen it happen elsewhere. -- Jeff Sturm jsturm@sigma6.com -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
