IMHO, this would be the better choice, to meld well with the current
architecture. .moc.announce is counter-intuitive with what's currently in
place.
May I suggest that if an .announce.moc group is set up that it does not
boost posts into the spotlight as currently happens with other .announce
groups? My somewhat cynical nature prompts me to observe that a lot more
MOCs started appearing in .announce after it became evident that it only
took a couple people highlighting it to reach the top of the charts...
thanks,
James
