Thanks Matt for clarifying my point, and Pete for considering this.  Oddly
enough, I would likely subscribe to BOTH lists, but the seperation would
allow me to filter, target and respond to more 'important' emails notices,
and review discussions *IF* and/or when I have time. As an Email/Network
Admin and IT Manager, I receive hundreds of emails per day, and so I must be
able to automatically prioritize those messages via filters as they arrive
so I can focus on "Critical" information.  Thanks again for your
consideration!

Point taken. This seems to be a popular idea so I will look into it.
This list, however, will remain "chatty". The "announcements only"
list will only be used for that purpose. I would hate to see the discussions
on this list "quieted".

Thanks,
