Re subject, who or what is ANN?


[ANN] normally stands for ANNouncement, so you can filter it out
from other postings ...


Thanks. It doesn't seem to be a widely documented convention, nor one
that is used often, hence my puzzlement.


I've never heard of it either and I've been mooching around Usenet for
years.

I guess geeky people (i.e. myself) live in a world of their own and
after a while they think it is the norm with the outside world :-)

To prove that this convention actually exists, you can look at, for
example, comp.lang.java.announce, or any other newsgroups with
"announce" in it, to see what I mean.
