Since you are often the voice for us lurkers and occasional patch contributors, thank you, Christopher, for a well put and well reasoned response that sums up the whole thread.
I can't agree. Take it in context with what was written. The "fix it yourself" response was in response to a somewhat rude request that a problem be fixed. It had words like "For the love of open source" "what is the hold up?" and "I'm dying here".
I don't think newbie should necessarily mean clueless and demanding but that is how the original post came across to me.
Remember, we are giving you gifts. Cygwin is a gift. The response to a gift is "Thank you" not "Yeah, yeah. Now I want more, when's it coming?"
We're human, too. When someone seems demanding after having been given a gift it tends to rub us the wrong way.
