So your interpretation of the word mirror means byte-by-byte copy (also called a backup or an archive). Another common interpretation, however, is an alternative location, suitable for off-site (which I assume you mean, here, too, instead of off-line) viewing, as in If that website is unavailable, try one of the following mirrors: is, if mirroring here means what it usually means: provide an alternative location to view the same content.. if it's more like a backup, then of course -k is not a good option. But in that case, maybe it's worth mentioning...? No! ;-) My point was that the meaning of mirror is very ambiguous, /especially/ in the context of fetching a live website in this fashion (as one could expect a backup to occur on the server-side instead). I am not arguing that the -k switch should be added as much as that I'm just saying it might very well be worth mentioning.

People are definitely posting to the list without having to be subscribed. However, folks have been known to be rejected as spam, even for unsubscription requests. :\ I've been considering a move to gnu servers; but I'm not sure their spam filters are better (though at least they wouldn't reject unsubscriptions I think). But mostly, I'm not motivated enough to get off my lazy butt yet. If we start having more serious problems, perhaps the motivation will increase sufficiently... -- Micah J.
