You clearly acknowledge that this is a Red Hat mailing list, then ignore the 
fact that it _is_ a Red Hat mailing list.  This makes no sense.  I can only 
assume you completely ignored the information sent to you when you 
subscribed to it.

How about you stop wasting time sending off-topic Windows questions to a Red 
Hat mailing list and find a Windows or product-specific mailing list to ask 
your questions?  Your responses would be much more useful and helpful than 
the ones you're getting here.

How about I say "so please, if you have a question on a topic not relevant 
to this mailing list then please do not bother to post to it and instead 
look for the right place."?  How does that sound?

_You_ need to go and look for the correct mailing list for your subject, 
rather than sending out an email to potentially hundreds of people many of 
whom _won't_ have anything to do with the Windows operating system, let 
alone the application you're asking about.  You claim that many of us will 
work with Windows as well as Red Hat distributions.  I claim that it's 
likely at least half of us won't.  Therefore your post was irrelevant to at 
least 50% of the recipients.  Well done.

My request to you is twofold.  One, please refrain from using this mailing 
list for off-topic discussion and two, please trim the large amount of 
irrelevant digest traffic you quoted at the end of the email I'm replying 
to.  That too is extremely bad form and does not endear you to anyone.

I'm sure.
