..............

This is about the fourth launch notice I have seen.  I saw one the
day of the launch and one more each day after.  It would help if
submiters would either:
	0 put explicit subject headers on the notices (eg. launch notice,
	  LAUNCHED ...)
or
	1 put an expiration date on such short notices so they would
	  not propogate (sp) far
or
	2 limit distribution to the local area
or
	3 create a single source for such announcements.  Some one would
	  have to take on the job of being the *official* reporter for
	  launches (~ to mediator)

I know 1 and 2 are possible but must admit I don't know how to do them.
3 would be a lot of work and no one is doing 0.

Does anyone know any other methods??  ( n does not work because I don't
know from the Subject: field if it is an anouncement of launch or infor
about the launch)
