I'm subscribed to both now. ;-) The advantage to the NANOG subject header was obviously it was resilient to e-mail address changes for the list. A nice attribute given e-mails now come in from both nanog@nanog.org and nanog@merit.edu addresses. Anyhow, I assume there was compelling reason for the change. -J --- Jason J. W.

When I was sending things to nanog-announce, it was the case that mail
to nanog-announce was sent to people who had specifically subscribed to that list, plus anybody who hadn't but who was subscribed to nanog (in other words, it was sent to the union of both lists).
That might have changed since the transition to mailman. It seemed like a useful approach, though.
Kinda makes you wonder what the purpose on the announce list is though. Are there actually people subscribed to nanog-annouce that aren't subscribed to nanog? Sam !SIG:4836ce2871591551116042!
