Actually I think we agree here. My thought is that announcements should 
initially go to both the general and announce list, and if the O.P. doesn't do 
that I have no complaint about a forward. It's the forwarding to unrelated 
lists, and duplicate forwarding by multiple people, which seen unnecessary.
