Flies and honey, Earnie.  Flies and honey.  Kai has his reasons for
doing what he does, and I am a part of that project.  Kai has been a
wonderful person to work with, completely understanding of my
knowledge level.  He helped me get from knowing nothing about this
stuff at all to actually creating the whole build system for the
project.  That's an awesome thing, and it serves as an example of the
kind of good person he is, if you'd just take the time to listen to
what he has to say.

You say that there is absolutely no reason to have a separate list.
Earnie, that isn't helpful.  We have our reasons, otherwise it
wouldn't have started in the first place.  No one sat down and said,
"Hmm... how best can we anger those MinGW guys?"  It came out of
necessity for a variety of reasons, and you'd understand that if you
approached this whole thing differently.  Until you learn how to
properly ask the right questions (things like, "Kai, can you explain
why you forked a new project?  I don't understand, and I'd like to
help.") until you learn how to respect the other people involved...
well, work can't just stop.  We found a place where we can work
unconstrained, and hopefully at some point in the future, everything
else can be resolved.  Until then, please rethink how you are
approaching this.
