Step 1: Person posts to wrong list.
Step 2: Person is apprised of that fact by cygwin mailing list notable.
Step 3: Person argues that they *are* sending to correct mailing list.
Step 4: Person is pointed to web page documentation supporting Step 2
by notable.
Step 5: Person changes tactic and indicates not their fault because
mailing list name is counterintuitive, maybe should be changed.
Step 6: Person is told by curmudgeonly developer that it makes sense to check
facts before Step 3.
Step 7: Unrelated person says that Step 6 is mean since not everyone
is a developer.
Step 8: Developer responds to clarify whole stupid thread. Developer
surprised that person from step 7 unable to see that thread
is six steps too long. Developer gratified that Step 7 person
refreshingly refrained from profanity or suppositions about
developer's childhoods.
