Sorry to waste a little *more* of everyone's valuable time, but I 
interact with the mailing list via the Gmane mail-news gateway...

   http://www.gmane.org/

...and by some magic it constructs newsgroup threads out of the email 
messages. Your "New Cygwin Mirror" message appeared in the "cvs over ssh 
with tcsh" thread despite the different subject line.

I am quite content not to understand this magic, but it occurs to me 
that email clients could in principle do the same thing.

Anyway, thanks for the new mirror.
