Can I be a stick in the mud for a sec, and suggest that we send the email straight to the recipients? I know list posting is faster and easier, but I fear we are relying on f-announce-l for things that should be handled personally with account-holders. The reply-to should be set to a bit-bucket, with a statement to that effect in an end note. Many of these 9,000+ accounts are obviously going to be from people who aren't subscribed to f-announce-l, and therefore we aren't really playing nice by announcing there. When my account changes with any Web presence, they send me a "personal" email; we should do the same. -- Paul W.
