The various Lists are available at Gmane (www.gmane.org). That's how i (mostly) read them now. Advantage: most newsreaders (at least a good / great one like Xnews) present the threaded discussions in a clear, intuitive manner that many email UAs lack. The entire collection of articles going back until the day Gmane subscribed to Cygwin is available for searching and browsing. So what you are asking for is materially achieved already. I personally have mentioned Gmane so many times on this List that i am getting a bit surprised that people aren't getting the message. FWIW, I myself am opposed to the idea of mirroring this list on USENET. The spam harvesters would have a field day and i don't want my address and those of my busy, productive friends (like Gerrit, Chuck and Chris et al) being abused by those creeps to any greater extent than they already are. It's just not worth it IMO.
