It seems like you may still be missing something here. Your first
message was received on 2006-05-11 at 14:59 GMT and sent to the cygwin
mailing list with almost no lag. Your second message was received at
2006-05-11 15:15. That means that there was ~15 minute delay between the
two messages.
I don't want to belabor this point but it seemed like you think that
gmane is somehow a required mechanism for communicating to the cygwin
mailing list and that is not the case. gmane is a completely separate
site with completely separate rules. You don't need to know anything
about gmane to send email here.
