Huh, he replied to my freeglut ITP three weeks ago: Message-Id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 10 Jun 2004 09:42:28 -0400 Gerrit Lets clarify a few points: 1- I am willing to continue to maintain the OpenGL package. This means that I am willing to monitor the cygwin and cygwin-apps mailing list closely and answer messages about the OpenGL package. 2- I am not subscribed to cygwin or cygwin-apps. I am subscribed to cygwin-allow and cygwin-apps-allow. I'm reading the archives of cygwin and cygwin-apps several times a day, 5 days a week. 3- IMHO, almost every body should do the same. Hotmail subscribers and the like must use a browser to read mail anyway; why not use it to read the archives? Being NOT subscribed has many advantages: A- The archives are updated about 5-10 sec after you send a message. B- Your mail box is not clogged if you cannot access it for a week. C- If you're an idiot, you don't need to be taught how to setup a filter to redirect cygwin-related message to some specific folder. D- Less work for the mailing list processor at Red Hat. E- The archives have a search engine and Google is at your fingertips in your browser; so no excuse for not searching before posting. F- If you're an idiot, you don't need to be taught how follow trivial instructions about how to unsubscribe. Only people without easy access to a browser really need to subscribe. I suggest that the mailing info page, http://cygwin.com/lists.html mention that and the above advantages. After following the archives for a few weeks, people could decide if subscribing is worthwhile for them or not. André Bleau, Cygwin's OpenGL package maintainer. Please address all questions and problem reports about Cygwin's OpenGL package to cygwin at cygwin dot com .

I completely agree. FWIW, I've posted the procedure for *replying* to messages from the archives (in a way that keeps threading) several times as well.
