"I was just totally clueless." (Alicia Silverstone) FYI, you are coming across as ungrateful for the help provided by six people (one of which was a Cygwin lead) in this thread. Pragmatically speaking, focusing (in two messages) on one non-English speaker's use of the word "crap", disregarding the help that he and others provided, and then going into full bombast mode, is not an effective way to achieve support. Perhaps that's fine with you because you don't plan on sullying our mailing list again but I just thought I should make that clear.
