Ah. I just got it.

You see, I filter all the upload messages into a separate
mailbox. Then, whatever pgww messages don't fall into that
are for discussion. Maybe what you really want to do is make
a separate list for _those_, rather than abandoning pgww to
just the upload messages? Though, I must say, filtering out
the upload messages isn't hard . . .
