Hmm, shouldn't it be "FO" in my case, though? ;-)
I do try to snip where appropriate. However, sometimes it's hard to
quickly determine which parts are relevant, and since, unlike "linda w", I
don't spend 2-3 hours composing my replies, I err on the side of caution.
Besides, I view this as a necessary evil on the Cygwin list, where
threading is broken so often that unless there's enough context left,
nobody will have any idea what the message is about.

I thought the acronym was supposed to be *against* TOFU?.. We can refer
to the definition of TOFU from there, though...

Yep, that's how I understood it. :-)
