Chris,
To say the truth, I'm speechless. What does one say in response to
such an unprovoked assault? Would it help to say that, no matter what
are my opinions about the technical aspects of Cygwin, I'm treating it
as any other supported GDB port, and so would like its commands to be
documented as well as those of other ports? That, no matter how many
times I re-read my message, I cannot find any hint there--not one--of
being disingenuous, or of false gratitude, or of any other bad
attitude towards you personally or Cygwin in general. All I find is
IMHO a polite and technical response.
If you had a long and bad day, I'm sorry, but I'm pretty sure I had
nothing to do with that. I don't think I deserve such an attack for
doing my job.
