Why not use the CHAT command for this purpose ? With a CHAT EI it would
be possible to do this, as long as users are clearly informed about this
(in the login message for example).

Most of the traffic generated by the ANN FULL command could indeed
use the CHAT command, which is very flexible. Why not use CHAT HF for
information about HF activities, CHAT country_pfx for information
interesting only for users in one country,...

We would just need to advertise a few common groups and maybe it could
even make it possible to switch off the ANN FULL command which looks
more and more like cluster pollution.
