Why does this particular group get advertised with list commands when:

advertise         <<  END

END
noadvertise       <<  END
/.*/
END

>From the FAQ:

  HOW CAN I HIDE LISTS SO THEY CAN'T BE VIEWED BY 'LISTS'?

   That is what advertise and noadvertise are for. The two keywords take
   regular expressions that are matched against the from address of the
   sender. A list display follows the rules:

    1. If the from address is on the list, it is shown.
    2. If the from address matches a regexp in noadvertise (e.g. /.*/)
       the list is not shown.
    3. If the advertise list is empty, the list is shown unless 2
       applies.
    4. If the advertise list is non-empty, the from address must match an
       address in advertise. Otherwise the list is not shown. Rule 2
       applies, so you could allow all hosts in umb.edu except hosts in
       cs.umb.edu.

I would seem that I've done the right thing.

Any ideas?
