I agree with this.

Most people who don't read CLUE-Talk seem not to because of the 
political views sometimes expressed.  I don't really care for some of 
the views, but it isn't really a big deal to press delete.  So if we 
want announcements to go to Talk, I'm for it.

The only refinement I can think of, to get the best of both worlds, is 
to encourage people to subscribe to Announce and have people post 
announcements there.  We can still moderate the list so we don't get 
junk, or long discussion (like today's).  But it shouldn't be a big deal 
to approve posts like the Fun-da-mentals meetings.  We might also 
encourage posts to that list to be complete as far as what, when, where, 
  who, and so on so there isn't any confusion.
