Ok, either you're new to the internet or you're trolling. I don't know which it is. We are communicating via email in a mailing list. The standard way of participating in mailing list discussions is to subscribe to the mailing list. When you subscribe you are guaranteed to receive email when people reply to your messages. If you do not subscribe then there will be people, like me, who forget to cc you. So, you may only see responses in the email archives. I have bcc'ed you this time so you can just respond to this email just to get a feel for what it is supposed to be like. If you want to use a random site like mail-archive.com, to track what's going on, that's fine. Just don't insist that it's the only way to participate in the discussion. It is a non-standard and inefficient way of communicating. The main cygwin page provides a link that should make things pretty clear about how to subscribe to the cygwin lists. If you are still confused by the concept of a mailing list, here are some definitions: http://www.google.com/search?q=define:Mailing+List -- 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/
