But there's already a GWN list, which I assume those that want have signed up for. Putting them on the announce list as well would therefore be little more than noise. That doesn't hold for the other announcements on the front page, and I've wondered myself why some of them aren't making it to the announce list. As for the forums, "I'm familiar with the concept." I don't spend enough time in them, however, to comment on that angle. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
