Re: why does it take so long

Sorry about that. If it makes you feel better it's happening to everyone.

Mostly it's because many posts end up in a moderated queue before they go out to the group in general. It was set up to prevent spam, and in that way it's a good thing. The problem is that messages need to be removed manually so unless you're posting when I, or another moderator, just happen to be online, there's going to be a delay.

Personally, I would love to turn that feature off and risk the spam. Or we're going to need more moderators in non-North American timezones. But that's an issue for the group to decide as a whole.

Hi Jen, no that can't possibly make me feel better, but if that's the
way it is, OK

Ok, understood. The reason I asked is that when you start a new post,
there comes a message like "your post has to be approved&quot;, but when
you reply the message is "your post has been sent", so I thought that
maybe it had to do with some configuration or the like.

Thank you for your reply, Jen!

Hi

I vote for removing the feature.

However, if you still keep this feature and if you find me qualified, I
will happily be a moderator of this mailing list. My timezone is GMT+1.

Best regards
Christian J
