The mental gymnastics required to make assumptions like this would
really be something.
You're following a discussion that is moving along nicely in cygwin-apps
and the brainstorm hits you that this would really be perfect for
*cygwin*, so you redirect it there. I don't buy it. That's just rude.
It's more likely that people don't know how to use their mail programs
and end up moving the discussion here by mistake.
