If you called it "newsflash" perhaps it would carry the "it should be
newsworthy" connotation that "news" does *without* the connotation that
it is somehow related to newsreaders and nntp.
Ignoring the charter (which everyone seems to be doing.. Doesn't make it
RIGHT! :-) ) Announce to me carries the connotation of something *I*
want you to know about, not necessarily something newsworthy.

| (...) Ahh..."newsflash"...good word! (...) Yeah, I suppose I agree. Given what .announce means all over Usenet, it's the charter that's broken, not the name. It really doesn't work as a dual-purpose group. --Todd (25 years ago, 3-Sep-99, to lugnet.admin.general)
