The net is full of bad and outdated advice about Cygwin.
Stack Overflow gives you the tools to fix that. Post comments, post
better answers, edit incorrect answers, downvote bad answers, vote to
delete unhelpful answers, and gain reputation to get moderator fu.
Mailing lists give you only some of those abilities, and the powers
that do exist are weaker here:
Then please keep SO and its public posts off the search engines. If the
people with rep there are intent on misleading outsiders, it's not the
thing to replace other resources.
