Your analogy breaks down here.  As far as I know, no one here is "teaching"
cygwin.
Everyone volunteers ( including the Red Hat employees ) their answers to the
list.
Teachers get paid and it is even their job to answer questions.  I would
also hope that they are teaching you to "learn-to-learn."

The non-answers are helping to enable you to learn cygwin by giving you more
avenues-of-approach
to find information.
