Re: one paragaph of explanation on the web site.

Michael,

You are having a discussion with the Cygwin/XFree86 project.

My name is not, ``The Cygwin/XFree86 Project''.

Therefore, I kindly ask that you send all correspondence to
cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com, rather than directly to me.

Thank you very much,

Harold
