That means you intentionally trying to avoid and walk around others
work?  That itself is a copyright infringment, I just walk over to
my company Patent and TradeMark attorney in-house office.  That is what he
told
me when he read your above paragraph.  You ae intentiuonally taking my 
prior work, walking around it to avoid my authorship?

I see that is why on my several calls in the list that why points from
original FAQ which were important were missing?  You got very upset on that
and said it is a draft and they will be included.  I thought you sent a diff
file to Rob
and in one message you wrote you are working on to include it
but you never did.

In its current form I DO NOT approve your FAQ to be posted at Cygwin/XFree86
server.
Sorry about it.

Regards
Suhaib
