Brad & Jason, That's roughly what I have set up for bogofilter -- a users list, an announcements list (moderated), and a developers list. The lists aren't large and there's significant overlap among the subscribers. Here are the numbers: 224 on users 97 on devevelopers 222 on announce 303 only 1 list 78 on 2 lists 28 all 3 lists 409 total When I have a new release my practice has been to send it to users and announce.
