Most conversations are triggered by news, however.
I'm actually fine with the way it is. News is
usually what started as a new thread, so I don't
have difficulty distinguishing the two.

Okay, but please start with a clone of the subscriptions
so we don't have to manually subscribe both to recreate
the status quo.
Also, please put an automatic Reply-To: in the announcements
that leads to the discussion list. I personally would still
merge both streams into the same folder because I find it
interesting whenever libtech people have a comment to add to
a piece of news.

I guess most of us absorb the "news" by just grasping what
the subject line says, then decide what is worth digging
into. A digest format would impede that kind of fast absorption.
Anyone who prefers digests can still choose the digest feature
of the mailing list software... right?
