Being the control fiend that I am, I just created a new channel on the 
Linux-activists mailing list called "ANNOUNCE". Lars and I will mail 
the announcements that we approve for comp.os.linux.announce to this channel,
for those of you who don't get c.o.l.a or who'd rather your announcements in
e-mail digest format. Basically, there won't be any discussion on this channel.
It will only be a mirror of the bandwidth on comp.os.linux.announce.

Now, VERY SOON Lars and I will no longer be crossposting announcements to
comp.os.linux-- we'll ONLY post them to comp.os.linux.announce. There IS a
"LNXMANAGE" Fidonet echo for c.o.l.a, and if you don't get c.o.l.a on your
system, please encourage your news administrators to create it. If they won't
budge, then just join the ANNOUNCE channel of Linux-activists and you're set.

To join this channel, send mail to
	linux-activists-request@niksula.hut.fi
With the line
	X-Mn-Admin: join ANNOUNCE

at the top (not in the subject). Right, Arl? :) 

Feel free to send me any questions/comments. 

Thanks,
mdw

Oh yes, and one other thing: the procedure for posting announcements is the
same, just mail them to 
	linux-announce@tc.cornell.edu
(some news software handles this automatically). Lars and I will handle the
details of sending the announcements out on the new channel ourselves.
