The announcement was made to nanog-announce, but not to nanog. I would expect that there are scads more readers of nanog than of nanog announce.
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.
IMHO the purpose is (or should be) that the posting-privileges for announce is limited, so that messages from that list about things like changes in format or meeting times can be treated as authoritative. Regards Marshall
Are there actually people subscribed to nanog-annouce that aren't subscribed to nanog?
