Andrew, Lars said "I don't follow this mailing list in particular, so if someone wants to announce something **for this mailing list**, I'm probably not the person to do that." [emphasis added] Fair enough. BUT, posting an announcemnt on the WEBPAGE is NOT "for this mailing list". I

"Still waiting" --- for a news item to be posted on the main cygwin.org homepage announcing the nntp group availability. Sure, posting that "the server has been setup for several weeks now" in the mailing list is good and all -- but... go here: http://www.cygwin.com/post-article.html and post

I will say my 2c once again, I am rather glad to have this setup because I believe it will allow for a lot more than simply an e-mail group. Often times I am thinking about something about a month or two after it has been discussed, and frankly an nntp server group is easier to search than some ma
