Subject: Re: [USENET] - Time for "comp.lang.ruby.announce" ?

Personally, I'd be fine if we _didn't_ have a separate announce group. 
I like seeing the announcements as part of the stream, and they often 
provoke good discussions.

But then, I think the whole idea of splitting off Usenet groups into 
mutually exclusive groups is a sort of old-school, 
hierarchical-division maneuver whose need is obviated by good clients & 
search interfaces: Google groups, any auto-threading newsgroup or 
mailing list client, etc., etc.
