You did receive one response with a suggestion: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-07/msg00396.html I don't see how it's productive for you to assume humor-as-arrogance and respond to that but avoid responding to the suggestion. >Any time there's a report of a user having a problem with an interface, >*especially* one that's _supposedly_ so easy and obvious, why not >address it? Or why not AT LEAST take a thought and say to yourself, >"if something is supposed to be so simple and obvious, and yet someone >is having a problem with it, maybe *I* am making an assumption about >the simplicity of it?" Ok. I'll bite. Has anyone done a google search to see if anyone else was confused by this message? The message seems pretty clear to me and not something that I would misinterpret. It doesn't seem like this is something that anyone should take a lot of time fixing if we've only gotten one complaint. OTOH, if more people have been confused by the message then possibly it is something worth changing. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
