That's because I haven't actually asked for volunteers yet.
When I do, I'll try my hardest to make it very clear what I'd like and
then there can be a bunch of responses which will:
- instruct me in the fact that Kelly could be a man or a woman's name
- express consternation at some misspelling or typo (perceived or real)
in my email
- wonder if I know that I have to hit enter when I send email and suggest
that maybe Kelly never got my message
- express dissatisfaction that I either waited too long or not long enough
to ask for volunteers
- start a humorous thread on cygwin-talk wondering if hippos can send
email or if they like free software or that we drop a hippo on Kelly
(who may be a man or a woman)
- suggest that I didn't really mean volunteers but was actually looking
for someone to render aid
- wonder why we'd be so incredibly mean to these people when they are
offering this useful service
- notice that the cnet site has been there for a while and wonder what
harm it's doing
- possibly question my underlying motives for doing this, suggesting
that I'm turning people away from Cygwin with my rabid anti-cnet
policies
You know, the usual stuff.
So, for now, relax. If I know Kelly, I'm sure she'll do the right thing
so we won't have to worry about how to word follow-on email.
