It is intended to be read by everyone on Usenet, although nobody is forced to subscribe. To post to news.announce.important, send mail to the moderator at "announce@stargate.com". Some netnews implementations will automatically mail to the moderator anything posted instead of attempting to post it directly. If the message is appropriate, it will be posted by the moderator; if not, the moderator will suggest a more appropriate place to post it or a better way to go about the same goal. Discussions in news.announce.important are explicitly forbidden, and the volume of traffic will be kept low enough to keep people from feeling a need to unsubscribe. Usenet administrators for each site should make a point of reading news.announce.important. The current policy is that news.announce.important submissions must be: (a) short - preferably they should fit on one crt screen, including headers. (b) important enough to at least have their header shown to everyone on the net. The posting should be more of benefit to the net than to the poster. (c) not posted to any other newsgroup - news.announce.important by itself is supposed to be sufficient to reach everybody, and nobody should have to read an announcement more than once. (d) signed - the author should be clearly evident. (e) not commercial, political, or religious in nature.
