It is a bout time I said something. Back when the -announce list was made, or when it transitioned to mailman (i think made, to be honest) a decision was made as to how to populate the subscribers. I took the list of subscribers from *all* lists, and subscribed then to -announce. I also removed duplicates, as best as I could (so those subscribed to -list as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and -newbie as [EMAIL PROTECTED] would only get one -announce mail) It was also decided against automatically syncing up the lists. I agree that -announce should be an opt-in list, only. What I do not know is if we could subscribe -list and -newbie to -announce and prevent duplicates. Is mailman that smart? It might be. I do not feel like researching the issue, it does not interest me that much. -john -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-steer
