The CLUE-Announce subscriber list was borrowed from the newsletter
list which has been inactive.  I'm not sure if the idea was for
general announcements or not, but as far as I can tell a moderator
for the list doesn't exist.  That can be fixed.

Jeff created this list because of requests from folks on CLUE-Talk
or CLUE-Tech.  It will be used -- to post CLUE meeting and events
if nothing else.

I don't think it hurts that you did.  The Ruby's user group is
something that at least one cluebie I know would be interested
in.  (Hey Dennis, are you out there? :-)) However announcing
every future RUG meeting might be considered inappropriate.

Fwiw,
