Re: CygWin Security & Performance Issues

["David Law" <david dot law at apconsult dot de>]

Here is the so-called "definition" of TOFU:

"Text Over, Full-quote Under (or, in the original German, "Text Oben, Fullquote Unten").
A combination of top posting and full quoting, which makes the messages hard to read (accoring to RFC 1855).
Often combined with raw e-mail addresses in quoted messages (see PCYMTNQREAIYR).
Added after repeated requests from Corinna Vinschen"

Ah, now everything is clear:  "Added after REPEATED REQUESTS from Corinna Vinschen"
Who apparently asked over & over & over again until they finally capitulated.

Well, whatever that jibberish was supposed to mean,
it would seem someone has a bee in her bonnet about it!!

(Oh, by the way, for those of you who don't speak German,
"Text Oben, Fullquote Unten" is just as meaningless)
