Maybe not, if all posts to the announce list is also sent to the
disscusion list, for disccusion. That will be a solution very similar to
the one I proposed earlier in this thread. I also suggest a closed admin
list, for moderators only, which is where all posts to the announce list
go for moderation. It then needs a handler for when any moderator
replies to a mail there, then the mail will be accepted, and forwarded
to the moderated list. That is IMHO the easiest way to handle many
moderators, but then I'm no expert in mail list administration...

So if I just want the announcements I subscribe to the announce list, if
I want the full discussion and all the flamewars etc. I subscribe to the
discussion list instead.
