if you don't have something constructive to say, lay off laying into people.
[snip] Here's the bottom line: If you want results then behave in a way that is
likely to get them. Use complete sentences. Provide details when you
report problems. Don't send long boring messages asserting why you need
things and don't express outrage that the free stuff you've been using
doesn't work the way you want it to. Listen to advice and respond to it
directly. Call the project/product by its correct name (don't call it
"CygWin" or "Cyg"). Don't assume that people understand your mindset,
use acronyms which are not widely known, or talk about packages as if
everyone in the world uses them. Don't complain that you have no time
to provide details and expect that there will be someone with time to
track things down for you.
