All,

Todd has informed me that I have commited a gravis sin.

Not my words, but if you say so.  :)


I apologize.  After reading the thread I would recomend
that a filter be put in place.

It *is* in place.  Heh heh, I don't think you read the entire thread, or even
the entire message you replied to (which specifically mentions that the filter
is now in place).


Some people (like myself) might just anounce to any aperently related news
group.> The only other suggestion might be to call the news group
lugnet.lego-official.* rather than just lego.

Sorry Again,

Don't sweat it...No harm done.  Honest mistake.

A minor clarification here:  The .lego.announce group is currently
postable-to by anyone -- so that copies of official press releases can be
put there -- but it might not always stay so open.  In other words, if the
group gets abused (intentionally or unintentionally) and used for
non-official announcements,

Yikes -- well, that sure didn't take very long, did it...

it'll need to have a filter on it which only lets certain pre-approved
people (such as Brad, for example) post announcements to it.

OK, this filter is now in effect.  6 people (3 from LEGO, plus Suzanne, me,
and Chet Corbin) currently have "passage" to post to the group.
