I think both LDraw.org and the community at large would benefit from
it being mirrored.
And another beauty of mirroring an archive like this is that it's so easy
to set up that even if there's not a perceived burning need for it, the
long-term benefits easily outweigh the short-term effort involved. At
the ldraw.org server end, it's as trivial as adding a new e-mail address
to the distribution list.

Never mind... It sounds as though the LDraw-tech folks really don't want
their list mirrored here.

What are you talking about Todd? I for one would like the list mirrored here.

Orion,
Sorry for getting your hopes up.
What I mean above is that I jumped the gun. Yesterday, I misunderstood
Tim Courtney and Dan Boger in what they wrote here:
http://news.lugnet.com/cad/dev/org/ldraw/?n=2409
http://news.lugnet.com/cad/dev/org/ldraw/?n=2443
I was proceeding under the general impression that it would occur, although
Larry wrote me privately last night just to make sure that I wasn't going to do
anything major on my end before the group reached a consensus.
Anyway, Today Dan and Tim wrote:

The consensus on the LDraw-tech list seems to be that they would like to
keep the list public but obscure. I'm not on the list, but I've been following
along in the public archives.
