I suspect the problem is that the news software at Alison's site is set up
to expire news.announce.newuser fairly quickly so that at midmonth there's
nothing there.  Administrators might want to think about setting expire so
that news.announce.newuser hangs around all month.  The idea of a supercede
option (which was mentioned some time back) would be nice there as well.

Try again around the first of the month (plus a day or two depending on
your feeds) and see if it's there.
