...it was not blocked.

FWIW, I have seen my own posts go to /dev/null for no apparent reason 
(heh, remember my reply to the old thread?). However, I also notice that 
it *does* seem to only exist on cygwin-xfree as far as the official web 
archive is concerned, which, honestly, smells to me like either a bug, 
misconfiguration, or known limitation in the archiver, given that they 
seem to be cross-posted from gmane.org's perspective and according to 
the headers.

To the list maintainers; is this how it's supposed to work, or...?
