The problem might be the other way up - if all the national LUGs don't post 
announcements to NZLUG then AuckLUG might have to be asked to desist as 
well ... (I was going to post a comment to NZLUG after the last post of 
AuckLUG meeting stuff, but thought better of it ... best to wean them off 
their NZLUG addiction slowly ;-).

Posting to nzlug-announce sounds like a good idea, if only I new what 
nzlug-announce was.
