1) No one flamed you. Flaming is what you are doing now. 2) You are not a customer. You have no rights to anything here. The flow of obligation does not go from us to you. We are doing you a favor by providing you with software and answering your questions. If you don't want to use the software or don't like the answers you're getting then it will not affect us in the slightest if you stop. 3) The point of this project is to provide a UNIX/Linux environment primarily for people who know UNIX/Linux. The documentation on our web site presupposes that. If you don't like man pages then you have found the wrong project. 4) Cygwin is not a movement. It is just a collection of programs which a number of people have made available for free. Then those people and others have volunteered their time to create documentation and answer questions. You're welcome. 5) When you say that it took "three days to do ...X" you want us to conclude that it was hard to find X. An alternate conclusion is that you aren't very adept at finding things. I mention this because it may not be clear to you that some of your indignant remarks are working against you. 6) This is an open source project which accepts contributions. So, if you truly want to do more than try to convince us that you like to rant then provide us with concrete suggestions, ideally in the form of actual changes to the documentation which you so decry. If you can't be bothered to provide concrete suggestions and insist on making personal observations, vague complaints, and pseudo-philosophical pronouncements then we will all happily conclude that you are YA internet loon who can be safely ignored. If you want to do the latter then use the cygwin-talk mailing list as you'll be off-topic here. If you want to provide concrete suggestions for improvement then go ahead. We'll be happy (seriously) to see them. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
