Heh.  Doesn't support *not* cross-posting.

Most people are reasonable, especially if asked directly.  But here are 
the numbers:

clue-talk: 106 subscribers, 22 not on clue-tech
clue-tech: 163 subscribers, 79 not on clue-talk
clue-announce: 52 subscribers (moderated)
(by email address, not by actual person)

So if someone had an announcement for our members, clue-tech is the 
place to put it (even though we could argue that announcements don't 
belong on that list).

Since at least half the members of clue-talk and clue-tech overlap, I 
think cross-posting is undesirable.  But I don't know what to tell 
people who want to get the word out to 'all' of CLUE.
