Finally i'd like to state that it would be nice if announcments was sendt to the announce list only. I see no reason to cross post. And i see no reason to post announcements to the pd-list, since there is an announcment. I suggest this to be added to the netiquette.
To me pd-announce is a subset of pd-list for those people who don't want to follow every discussion and flame war, but don't want to miss important announcements either.
pd-list has manymany more subscribers than pd-announce, so I guess, many pd-list subscribers either don't want to read pd-related announcements - I doubt this - or many pd-list subscribers just don't know about pd-announce or didn't bother to subscribe. All these people would miss pd-announcements on pd-announce, unless they are crossposted to pd-list. That's the reason why I cross-post to both lists. I'd like to continue to be allowed to cross-post, because it is unlikely that we will get several hundreds of pd-list subscribers not yet subscribed to pd-announce to change their subscription habits.
Regarding posts from non-subscribers: I'd vote for keeping pd-announce open to them.
Ciao
