[Balug-admin] Ugh! ... the announce list is NOT FOR JOB POSTINGS!!!

Ugh! ... the announce list is NOT FOR JOB POSTINGS!!!

This is the kind of stuff that makes me (and others) want to unsubscribe.
It's *not* what the "announce" list is for, nor is is what most would
want or expect it to be for.  The list is supposed to be *low volume*
(e.g. one to a few mailings per month) and on-topic (rather to highly
relevant to BALUG).  E.g., when folks sign up for a list, expecting it
to be more-or-less one thing, and find it's quite something else, they tend
to unsubscribe (e.g. when a PICNIX *announce* list got subverted/diverted
into an sbay.org flamewar/argument/gripe list, I quickly unsubscribed).

Job announcements aren't suitable for the balug-announce list - keep 'em
off there!

Only the "talk" list *may* be considered *possibly* appropriate for such.
