[Elecraft] s/n ratio of this list

[Phil Hystad]

That works as long as some discussion does not start up on the
[Announcement] tag. Or, if people can remember to be diligent, before
starting discussion they can remove the [Announcement] tag.

By the way, I already filter out a small set of e-mails (from the "from:" tag)
because I don't want to miss anything they say.  These are filtered merely
by marking them with flag (Mac mail).  This set is somewhat obvious and
includes:  Wayne, Eric, and about a dozen others whose technical
expertise & knowledge is far more than mine (thus, reading their messages puts me in
learning mode most of the time).

That would be far less work for Eric in the long run, and it would allow discussion on said announcements to occur; even if a separate list was set up for them, it would inevitably happen that the discussion would come to this list, whether we wanted to read it or not.
