Sigh.

Lars, read carefully:

Please announce the existence of your news gateway by posting a news 
item on the cgywin WEB PAGE.  Where people who are NOT subscribed to the 
mailing list will see it (that's the whole point of your nntp service, 
right?)

Posting the announcement here on the mailing list will do very little 
good -- we already use the mailing list, very few of us are going to 
switch.  Besides, we all already know it exists, thanks to this 
interminable thread.

To post an announcment on the CYGWIN WEB PAGE, go to THIS link (which 
you would have found on the main cygwin home page had you looked for it):

http://www.cygwin.com/post-article.html

*I* will not do this -- it's not my place to announce your contribution. 
  Chris obviously felt the same way -- which is why he asked YOU to post 
an announcement ON THE CYGWIN WEB PAGE several weeks ago.

But you did not.  Why?  And why are you being stubborn now?

--Chuck
