Any interest in alt.os.cygwin32?

While I greatly appreciate the efforts of the Cygnus staff, I wonder if
a USENET news group dedicated to Cygwin32 would be beneficial. While
the name is debatable (is Cygwin32 an OS?), I couldn't think of anything
better.
I think a news group would relieve the Cygnus staff of
some administrative burden (allowing them to concentrate on the
software instead). Additionally, as a personal preference,
I'd rather follow a news group rather than the mailing list.
Finally, I believe that this would give Cygwin32 a bit more
exposure.
Does anyone have any data related to USENET article propagation delay versus
the delay for messages on this list?
If there's no interest, I'll shut up. :^)
Comments?
