[ADMIN] A couple of points

Hi folks,
I've been moderating the Psion groups (.announce and .reviews) for a while
now, and there are a couple of things I'd like to bring to your attention:
a) I can't really post articles supplied with no hint of a return address.
If I get articles which I have to bounce (a lot of FAQs get asked in
.announce, for some reason), I can't notify people of the fact that
their submission's been refused unless they provide a return address.
Therefore, any articles submitted without any hint of a return address
will be silently dropped on the floor. I don't like spamtrapping addresses
for various reasons, but I'm happy to approve spamtrapped articles as
long as there's a hint in there of how to get back to you!
b) I'm going to start setting a Followup-To: header in articles in both
newsgroups to point at comp.sys.psion.misc, unless anyone has any good
reasons for me not to. At the moment followups are coming straight back
to .announce, which is the wrong behaviour!
c) If anyone currently holds permission to autopost to .announce (FAQ files,
etc) I'd be grateful if you could just drop me a line to say "hi" so I
know where to find you in case of problems. Likewise, if anyone's ever
anticipating a high volume of announcements (in a low-traffic group like
this, that's more than one a week or so on average) then it'd be good if
you could let me know. I have to fit newsgroup moderation in around my
other duties, obviously, so it's useful if I can save a little time..
Any queries, then mail me. Any points to debate, followups redirected to
c.s.p.misc..
Thanks!
