[Nanog-futures] Announce list: Re: Hughes Network

Fri May 23 16:29:33 UTC 2008

I'm subscribed to both now. ;-) The advantage to the NANOG subject
header was obviously it was resilient to e-mail address changes for the
list. A nice attribute given e-mails now come in from both
nanog at nanog.org and nanog at merit.edu addresses. Anyhow, I assume there
was compelling reason for the change.

Kinda makes you wonder what the purpose on the announce list is though. 
Are there actually people subscribed to nanog-annouce that aren't 
subscribed to nanog?
