I must admit, this is a good point.  I had generally been in favour of Next
Gen's "announcements" as it was gaming info, and it was related to the
groups posted, and it was a damn site better than most of the crap
flamewares that we receive.  But should they be granted leeway because
they're a large, commercial site?  I can think of many sites that _could_
be doing this, and it _would_ fill up the newsgroup more than it already
is.  The announce newsgroups were created for a reason, NG- please use
them.
