It looks like what Philip is also asking here is whether he should |
| 28 |
subscribe to *both* -dev *and* -dev-announce. I am curious about this |
| 29 |
as well. It depends on whether all messages to -dev-announce are |
| 30 |
relayed to -dev automatically. If so, then the user would want to |
| 31 |
subscribe to *one* of the lists, not both. If not, then users would |
| 32 |
want to subscribe to both lists if they want all traffic. I suspect |
| 33 |
"not" is the way it was set up, since clearly all posts to the new |
| 34 |
-dev-announce will not be technical, and so they should not be relayed |
| 35 |
to -dev automatically. Anyone know? |

P.S. Duncan, +1 on your comments about use of the lists! |
