I'm interested inm the topics, but not in subscribing to a >second list for it. But the cygwin32 list has a defined scope: support of the cygwin32 environment. Creation of newsgroups are in my and others' opinion outside of this scope and so better placed on a seperate list. So no one searching for support will have to fight through a jungle of requests for a newsgroup and election forms for creating one. *And* you'll get around the complaints of all the people that don't want it discussed on the cygwin32 list... ;) And as Steve Morris writes >Only one person has expressed interest in joining a list to discuss creating a >newsgroup. That is one less than my threshold for creating such a list. So far >newsgroup creation is dying of apathy. If there is no nore interest than this >it should die of apathy. the approach will silently die if no one takes part. >>Have a lot of fun with it... ;) >Sorry, no 8-| We could perhaps create a list for discussion of that!? ;-))) bye Michael - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
