Me too. Note please that this doesn't necessarily have to be Todd and Suz.
(or Steve or Jen or Dan) There are other people who would be willing to take
some of the load if empowered to do so.
As James Brown said, administration is not necessarily editorial control or
moderation. Community norms can be enforced with gentle reminders (backed up
with the power to remove posting priviledges if necessary for those that
repeatedly flaunt the norms) which are surprisingly effective when used
correctly and in (ahem, sorry!) moderation.

I'm not so keen on it as it then is in the .announce hierarchy meaning you
still would see the posts in there when viewing .announce via the web.
Perhaps lugnet.moc.announce instead of lugnet.announce.moc????
