Thanks for all you do cover on dealing with the listadmin stuff :-)
Yeah, ... we should probably tweak the list description on that page slightly (based upon our other descriptions of it and what seems to be probably at least general majority opinion of how it should (and should not) get used).
Given how that list page presently describes it, and the admin interface to it, certainly an understandable judgement call.

This message probably should not have been approved for the BALUG
"announce"
list:
No, I approved it manually, after pondering the substance of the message: It struck me as of reasonably local (Stanford U) Linux technical interest.
If there's consensus that this should be policy, then same should be reflected on http://lists.balug.org/listinfo.cgi/balug-announce-balug.org . It is not at present. Current posted policy is:
This is a low-volume announce-only (non-discussion) mailing list primarily for Bay Area Linux User Group's meeting announcements to its members. Please send any other announcement to the moderators [link], and they'll decide whether to post it.
