There seem to have been a spate of postings here recently with the word
"announce" in all caps.  My kill filters filter these out.

With good reasons:
    1) It is considered poor netiquette.  All caps is considered to be shouting.
	Just don't do it.

    2) Spammers do it.  That's why I put it in my killfile(s).  The recent
	spate of "mushroom spam" did this and I found the only reliable way
	to get rid of it was to include a catch for 4 or more capital
	letters in the thread title.

As I said, just a word to the wise.
