> Now c'mon...is it really that bad?  An announcement or two...

Well, if it doesn't pertain to linux (like that last one you sent) yes it
is.
I personally (note i said personally, dunno how the rest of the list
feels) feel that if the announcement is directly linux related, go ahead,
but if not...let us subscribe to TCPC if we wanna hear about it.
Thanks for asking,
