Am I alone in getting annoyed with TLC's relentless "market" posts in • non-market
groups? Is this what we envisaged for LUGNET?

TLC are not alone. lugnet.announce has seen other commercial announcements
lately:
http://news.lugnet.com/announce/?n=2654
http://news.lugnet.com/announce/?n=2657

Of course, announce also gets used for other things it's not intended for as
well, like MOCs
http://news.lugnet.com/announce/?n=2651
http://news.lugnet.com/announce/?n=2635

and purely local meeting announcements
http://news.lugnet.com/announce/?n=2645

Keeping .announce low-traffic enough that genuinely important community-wide
announcements don't get lost in the noise, has been an ongoing problem IIRC.
