Announcements List

Hi --

Just to report that all the feedback we've received so far has been
positive.  People like the Announcements group and the trio of groups.
It's not too late to weigh in by any means, but I thought I'd let
everyone know where things stand as I reply to Hagridd's question.

Hagridd asked:

That would defeat the purpose though.  The purpose is to reduce message
volume on the main group for things that are simply announcements (new
merchandise, a new fanfic chapter, a news link, I spotted JKR in
Edinburgh today, WarnerBros news, etc.).

Not to mention that your suggestion would be just one more thing for the
Moderators to coordinate.  This is a group of over 1100 members at the
moment and coordinating all the requests & questions isn't always easy
in any case.
