Every user of MS should first subscribe to the announcement list and
second to the tech list (this one). That's how it's usually done on Clam
and SA for example.

I don't understand your problem, would it save you subscribing to one
more list with maybe one post every month? You're already subscribed to
it so you will not miss anything and it's not like we're not going to
discuss the new releases here. We always do. ;-)

Over and out from me.
