Ah, I didn't realize some people interpret quoting a post as expecting a

When I quote from someone else's post, I do it for the purpose of giving the
context of my response. I'm not necessarily expecting a response from the
author of the previous post.
It is common from Usenet and, come to think of it, most forums and other
places that I've seen, that if you specifically quote somebody it's as
if you are responding directly to them.
BTW: I read the Cygwin mailing list as a Usenet like newsfeed via gmane.org.
