You are the guy who called my spam blocking software "stupid" so I
don't think your high ground is that elevated.

I apologize for the implied profanity. I very rarely go there but I do
find the confusion around these discussions pretty frustrating. That is
not an excuse though. I shouldn't have done it.
It is likely hard to put yourself in the shoes of developers running
a project but if we don't push back on people sending "suggestions" we
end up with a mailing list full of suggestions with people who expect
that their suggestions will be carried out.
It is a little known fact that one of Corinna's early messages was
actually a suggestion. I suggested to *her* that a patch would be
considered. She took that as a challenge and provided a patch.
Apparently Corinna is quite unique (we all know that now), at least as
far as the Cygwin ecosphere is concerned.

Good luck in your future endeavors.
