Folks,

The whole point of seperate staff and staff-announce addresses is to give 
people who don't want to see all of the traffic on staff a place to get 
important announcements.

To make this feasible, a couple of points of staff list ettiquite are 
worth pointing out:

1) Only important announcements that everyone needs to see should go to
    'staff-announce'.
2) When replying to a staff-announce post, don't reply-all.  Follow-ups
    should go to the sender or 'staff', not staff-announce.
3) PLEASE don't post to both lists.  staff is _subscribed_ to
    staff-announce, so anything sent to staff-announce will also go to
    staff.  Cross-posting just means everyone on staff will get 2 copies.

As we get closer to the convention, and list traffic goes up, taking a few 
extra seconds to keep these points in mind will help keep everyone's email 
manageable, and let people focus on making Arisia happen.

Thank you for helping in this process.

(And please let's not have this devlove into a discussion of Reply-To: 
helpful/harmful.  And please, if you must follow up to this, reply to me 
or staff.)

-Noel
