No moderation! Never!!! I hate moderated lists! Besides, who would do it?
It's time-consuming, and delays postings forever.
One thing Eric *could* do, I think, is change the list parameters so that
only people who sub can post. But since we're gatewayed to usenet, and
anyone can post to usenet, that wouldn't be too effective.
