But why on earth do people spotlight the post that
says that MichLUG is going to display?!

To draw the lurkers out.
We have gotten some new members over the years from people coming to shows and
getting drawn in. In at least one case it was because they saw a post on LUGNET.
Spotlighting the post moves it up on the front page, making it marginally more
likely that it will be seen by people that are not aware of us or hadn’t gotten
on our announcement mailing list (which anyone can join, it’s very low volume so
not very annoying).
Besides, Jake has way too many spotlighted posts on the front page now anyway.
:-)
It’s a fair question, I guess, as to whether it is a good strategy or not but
it’s pretty harmless, I think. (By the way I was a spotlighter in this case and
I spotlighted COLTC’s announcement of Dennison too)
