It really depends on the group.? As was mentioned a few days ago, one person has the main group set as announcement only.? Any discussion takes place in a subgroup.? Having specific names would help here, say Announce for the main group and Discuss for the subgroup.? Others have subgroups for board members or committees.? As you mentioned, there are sometimes overlap, so gray areas do exist.
