First, remember that (as noted in the message) the last-call *announcements* go to ietf-announce, with reply-to set to <ietf@xxxxxxxx>; they already do not get posted to <ietf@xxxxxxxx>. What would change is that the reply-to would become <last-call@xxxxxxxx>. Second, one of the points of this is to allow people to choose to follow the last-call discussions and/or the IETF general discussion, and to make separate choices for those -- some will want one, some the other, some both. If we were to subscribe one list to the other, it wouldn't be possible to choose which to subscribe to independently. Barry
