Soounds like a good idea Clint. I have a thought that might make things better for you without the potential loss of audience. what if you were to get each local UG administrator to sign the local UG mailing list up to the UTOS announce list. Going that route, you would still only have to send the one email to the single [announce] list, but the reach would still cover all of the individual local UG lists out there. Think tree trunk with branching yeah?
