From the moderators:

This is a last warning to everybody that the announcements posted to
comp.os.linux.announce will cease to be crossposted to comp.os.linux
around Thursday (in some unspecified time zone).  This means that you
should subscribe to c.o.l.a if you want to read the announcements.
There have been warnings about this earlier, this is the last one.
Act now, or no more cola for you.

The reason for the change is that there are a number of people who
will get such crossposted articles once per group, while there don't
seem to be very many people who will suffer if the crosspostings cease
(at least there has not been violent opposition when the moderators
have made noises about this before).  We have not made the change
earlier because we wanted the group to be better established first,
and make certain that everybody had time to get the group.

If you do not already have access to comp.os.linux.announce, please
contact your news administrator about it.  If (and only if) that can't
be fixed, you can join the ANNOUNCE channel on the
linux-activists@niksula.hut.fi mailing list (send an empty mail to
linux-activists-request@niksula.hut.fi for instructions for joining).
Please avoid subscribing unnecessarily, because that will put more
load on the machine the mailing list is running on, and that machine
has already suffered badly from the mailing list load.

For Fidonetters, comp.os.linux.announce is gatewayed
(one-directionally) to the LNXMANAGE area, available on the backbone
(I think that is the correct term).  Please contact your sysop if you
don't have access to it.

Posting to c.o.l.a is as before: either post normally to c.o.l.a and
your news software will automagically mail it to
linux-announce@tc.cornell.edu, or you can mail it directly to that
address if that is more convenient or if you can't post to c.o.l.a.

Mail me (see below) or Matt (mdw@tc.cornell.edu) if you have problems.
