I just updated the welcome message with a note about this:
new members to the list are, by default, moderated. They
can't post without it being approved by the list-owner (me).
Every time a new person posts, however, I make them
unmoderated, and after that they can post freely.
This was mentioned in some discussion when we moved over here
to Yahoo. I wanted to make it clear why some people are
moderated and others not. Doing this is an added level of
protection against spammers. If you join and lurk for a
while, to get the hang of the list, then post, there'll be a
short delay before your message appears. It's nothing
personal. I'll approve it very soon and then you'll be all
set.
