There's been a lot more spam lately hitting the filter queue, so maybe
your message got lost in the churn?  

J: if NB announcements are getting lost in the churn, does that suggest the need for a new method for handling announcements? I suggest "subscribers only". Why should spammers be allowed to post to nb-announce?

A: The only thing waiting right now
is a message from you titled "Video volunteers sought" which doesn't
make very much sense as a -announce subject AFAICS.

J: So you're rejecting "volunteers sought for noisebridge event"? You're saying that kind of announcement is not appropriate for nb-announce? Ok. Is that a consensus policy, or Andy's policy? Is this policy documented someplace?

A: The announce subject should give a quick idea about what the event is
about, and the body should include info about the event...

J: does the message below qualify? I posted it yesterday and still has not been released. You said you don't see it, but I see it in my sent folder. (Apologies if I sent twice). 

Please let me know how I can improve my announcement. Thx.
