I'm still detecting a certain wistful quality in your email when you
mention linux, Randall.  That just won't fly.  It gives people the wrong
idea.  It could easily make readers feel like maybe they should
investigate this "linux" thing.  And, if everyone moved to linux, where
would cygwin be?

As much as I don't like to promote cygwin, since I'm both a crappy
maintainer *and* a developer, I still don't want to see someone else
using a another OS.  As you know, I am just that mean and petty.  Also,
since cygwin is a secret government project, it may even be illegal.

Now, what's the opposite of a gold star?  Hmm...

Btw, I, of course, use linux because I have to since I work for Red Hat.
Otherwise, I would use...

er, um.

I guess there are some things too absurd for me to even joke about...

cgf, RCM, NAL
