   There seems to be some confusion lately about how to post a message announcing a MOC. It was thought by many years ago that we should have a separate newsgroup for announcing MOC’s that is different from the regular lugnet.announce group. We decided to go with that idea.

Therefore as you can see here

   A new group/list for personal announcements of “MOC”s (“my own creations”) has just been created, the purpose being to focus these types of announcements and offload them out of the main lugnet.announce group, which was never intended for announcements of MOCs.

Other than that it is a perfect site for what I need. John P
