OK, maybe I didn't say this right. Let me try again. Please treat all information as provided by the Cygwin web site as superior to information derived from other web sites when researching Cygwin. It's not necessary to use the Cygwin email archives search engine to find information on the Cygwin site (although this is not a discouraged mechanism either, assuming you're looking for information in the Cygwin email archives). But if there are two sources of information for a Cygwin topic you're researching, choose the Cygwin site as paramount if that's an option. If you find the information from the Cygwin site to be incorrect, let the email list know ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). If you find information about Cygwin at another site which is wrong, let that site know. If you can't find any information that's helpful in your research, ask the list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). It's appropriate to query the list if you've done due diligence in your research but still can't find an answer.
Does that help clarify things?

Faylor say that we should be looking at Google for answers rather than pestering the list ... On a related issue, I can't use the search function in the mail archives - it always times out on me ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thomas Mellman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mobile +49/162/806-8405 Fax +49/1212/5 115 48 103 -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
