I have made the ANNOUNCE-L list stop advertising itself on http://www.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo. Also, I have added wikitech-l and wikipedia-l as subscribers to the list.
To my knowledge (and from looking at the archives), this list has never been used, except to discuss whether or not it should be used for announcements. This being the case, I was getting tired of having to discard the spam messages that come in on it. I'm hoping that removing the list from those advertised on the listinfo pag, I will reduce the amount of junk that comes in on the list.
This list was originally meant as THE place for wikipedia announcements (software changes, policy changes, etc.). So, it only makes sense that all lists that might be interested in such information should be on the memberlist. Of course, none of this matters unless poeple start using it.
I'm happy either way.
