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)

I'd be happy with .announce.moc. As you say, you get the choice with the
view plain - us technic-heads have already had to get used to this with
bionicle 8?/ and it's OK once you get used to it. Just means you've gotta
individually check all the sub-groups you're interested in 8?( But nntp &
smtp subscribers have to do this already.

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.

Agreed.

until someone points it out...)
