Personally, I think the way Kent did it was totally appropriate.
After all, anyone posting to news.answers has already received email
about the maintainers list, probably several times -- including a
strong recommendation that they subscribe to the "announce" list.
If you don't want extra email, don't post an FAQ. Duh.
Some people have obviously been oversensitized to the phrase "you
have been placed on a list". I understand why, but it's still good to
stop and think when it happens.
