It would be nice to receive announcements on only one list. Not

The only way I see to do that is to periodically synchronize the
membership of the -announce list with the sum contents of the other
lists. I'm not sure mailman was designed to handle such a cascading
membership logic (though it would be very nice).
Last time we did that, I got so pissed off that I unsubscribed from
announce entirely. I *strongly* recommend against such an approach.
I didn't say it was the right thing to do for kplug. I just thought
that it would be a nice feature to have, based on other things I'm
involved with. Organizationally at work, we have cases where it'd be
highly useful.
My apologies for admitting a feature would be nice but not qualifying
it for this group. Don't get yer panties in a twist :)
