Yep, it's a good question, and I did ponder it. FYI, at around the
same time, I placed another user on moderation, and didn't announce
the fact.

Arguments for announcing it:
- re-iterates policy for other users
- sometimes seems to produce a "thank god for that" effect from other
annoyed list members

Arguments against announcing it:
- tends to create further off-topic discussions like this one
- can feed trolls (ie, giving more attention to them in a public forum)
- can hurt feelings
