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.
