Hi Kevin,

Anyway moving on.

Neil - It isn't possible to vet new membership requests in terms of whether
they are really xAP interested or not so the current system is the most
effective for spam control.  As I explained in my other reply after a few
posts you will become automatically unmoderated anyway, and the low
activity
and urgency of this list isn't I'm sure going to cause any issues in the
meantime.   Not one of your messages has been moderated on content, ...we
do
try and keep this a friendly on topic list .

K





Bill,

To be a member of this group and be able to email to it at all. I must
first
submit to the group and receive approval from a moderator. Isn't this the
spam blocking area.
If I spam, remove me from the group.

However, once I am approved, I should be able to freely conduct
conversations with the group at a reasonable rate. Yet I'm not. This is now
moderator censoring my every word, not spam blocking

Waiting 7 hours for my email to be approved, when I have already been
accepted as a member is my concern.

It makes it bloody hard to have a conversation with the group, with seven
hour submission times between each side of the conversation.


Regards,

Neil Wrightson.

Gee, what a shame. Moderators taking their time and effort to help block
spam. Others writing software and giving it away for free. Meanwhile the
impatient bitch and moan.

Spam is a hassle. Moderating is about the only way to cut down on the
TREMENDOUS amount of hit-and-run spam to mailing lists. Lots of mailing
lists are run this way. It works QUITE well.
