The cygwin list has been open for around 23 years or so. Making the list subscriber-only (which seems to be what you're asking for) raises the barrier to asking questions and impedes the purpose of a "help" mailing list. Moderation is an option but I doubt anyone really wants to moderate every message here. cgf -- cygwin.com/sourceware.org administrator
