AFAICT, it's the standard Cygwin response #13, issued when someone is
confused about the process and wants to make a point by letting everyone
know how bad Microsoft is and exhorting all of us not to be that way.
In other words, it was a value-free message. Alexander's response was
perfectly clear and he didn't need to be taken to task for some imagined
attitude.
