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

Yeah, good point.  I figure it'd be a good idea to get consensus on 
policy, soonish, if only so we're more-or-less consistent and not
hesitant.

People do get funny about that.  Far be it from me to be critical.  
(My own flurry of activity reflected my trying to catch up on where we
are, and try to do some good without stepping on anyone's toes.)

Larry tells me that people who _probably_ have the listadmin password are:

Larry Platzek
Michael Paoli
Ann E. Worley
Xavier
Dick Verna
Rick Moen

(I don't yet have addresses for Ann or Dick, but will probably look
around.)

Appreciated.  Larry (about a month back, or so) passed it on to me (and
possibly some others).  I've passed it on to nobody.

One possibility:  Mailman automatically handles a -owner address for
each valid mailing list, reaching all addresses in the nagmail roster
for that list.  At present, it appears 
[any of our three]-owner@lists.balug.org reaches you, Larry Pletzek, and
me.

So far, we haven't discussed anything needing privacy, however.

This is one reason I think it's a bad idea to include "role" e-mail
addresses in the nagmail roster:  It obscures who's include and how many
people.

In any event, Larry wrote me privately to say that
"balugadmin@balug.org" reaches him, and not Michael Hubbard as I'd
speculated.
