Hello Larry, hello everybody,

I would suggest to create a new group lugnet.announce.moc. Most of the
postings some people find unappropriate for any of the other
lugnet.announce.* groups could probably fit there ...

Yep, this was suggested elsewhere in the thread and it has a lot of merit.
My preference would be for build.announce as that keeps the announce tree
low traffic. (yes, you could view .announce without subgroups but then you
miss announce.brickshelf, for instance, which by rights ought to be low
traffic and full of only highly important things)

Another alternative would be to change the .announce charter to allow • MOCs.
The current situation is no good as it (like artificially low speeding • laws
in other contexts) tends to foster disrespect for order. Flouted charters
dilute the very CONCEPT of a charter.

The MOC posts in .announce continue despite Todd's word on it.  Will Todd
take futher action to enforce what he said?  Is it something we should make
socially unacceptable here?  As long as Todd is absentee from LUGNET I would
imagine we won't be getting a new newsgroup.
