I disagree with Kilgallen.

As long as there are only a few such messagews (and IMHO present traffic
is well below threshhold), I see no objection.  These messages are quite
obvious from the subject line so that I can easily skip them.

If there gets to be a lot of this traffic, then it is right and
appropriate for it to move to its own news group.  In the interim,
though, such traffic is welcome here.

I agree.
