  How many "official" announcements per year do you anticipate? How
  many total X-related announcements? Seems to me, the traffic on this
  list is also light enough to accomodate everyone, so that we don't
  have to read about somebody's new compiler for the Amiga (:-))
  in comp.newprod(sp?). I also agree that we should let the creator 
  of the group decide how it should be used, but on the other hand 
  "popular demand" still counts for something, doesn't it?
