Nasty? What are you on?

Clearly, you are the one with the problem.

It doesn't matter. Even if there is only an announcement once every year,
then that announcement is important, and getting an email is a VERY good
way to stay updated. I haven't got the time to check out every single forum
for every single project I am dealing with, that would take up an entire day.
No. An announcement mailing list is a responsible and really useful way to
keep users aware of important things.

This has nothing to do with being lazy. These lists grow over time. I don't
my inbox packed with every new users questions about how to install Artix
or how to do X, Y or Z.
Maybe the traffic is low now, but hopefully it wont stay that way.
So no. This has absolutely nothing to do with that.
Every respectful project has an announce list, which is all I am interested
in being subscribed to. The rest of the lists I can read on the archives.
