Announce and discuss lists
I have a habit of entering a community and leaving both an announce and a discuss list wherever I go. The wisdom of this is still unresolved. I thought I'd share one thing I do beyond that: set the reply-to header on the announce list to go to the discuss list.
That way, when there's an announcement and the peanut gallery wants to add something, they'll reply and the people interested in hearing more will hear it.
I remembered this upon reading that the BALUG lists have the same sort of split, and that in particular that they were considering (on an opt-out basis) auto-adding people from discuss to announce.
