It is, at best, premature to add the mailing list to gmane and, at worst, a waste of time if the experiment does not bear fruit. So we'd prefer that this *mailing list* not be added to gmane at this time. That may change eventually but, for now, this subject is closed. Please don't continue arguing for this and please don't call me Shirley. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
