Okay, so gmane is a more comprehensive effort than a specific project to support an nntp gateway for cygwin's mailing lists. But *somebody* had to set up the mapping cygwin@cygwin.com <--> gmane.os.cygwin cygwin-xfree@cygwin.com <--> gmane.os.cygwin.xfree gmane doesn't mirror EVERY mailing list out there. The person who set up the mapping, whoever it was, did so for a reason. Somebody else (you, Lars?) approved the request to do so. Whatever -- I don't really care. I dislike the news interface. Somebody else out there likes it enough to do whatever was necessary to create the *cygwin* gateway using the gmane service. That person, whoever it was, should have announced that they had done so, using the references provided. *I* had nothing to do with it. *I* don't even use it. So *I* shouldn't implicitly take credit for it by announcing it. Geez, I can't believe I'm still writing about something *I* don't care about... --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
