No. However, if you're looking for the answer to the question, you're going to have to review this thread (and others like it). I appreciate your need to organize your messages in a way that's convenient for you but I'm not going to repeat what's already been said on this issue in this thread and others like it. Hopefully everyone is now clear as to why there is not already a news server for Cygwin. If you are not and are curious, please review the list archives to find the answer. It's time this thread died until someone is ready to do more than talk about the need or benefits of a news server. When that point is reached, I'm sure we'll all appreciate the single email message to this list that it takes to announce the existence of the new service.
