Hello moderators. I lerk in the GTALUG newsgroup often but don't often respond. I did response to the last thread for the first time in a while, but got a message back saying my message was awaiting moderation. I'm expecting this one to as well, and you can choose whether to respond directly or to post in the newsgroup and respond there. Does this group seriously moderate each and every message that passes through? Or do you have membership levels with some people requiring moderation and others not? Just curious, as if my messages are likely to get significantly delayed, then that would certainly have an effect on whether I try to post much more in the future. Kind Regards, Darryl Moore

Speaking as the guy who approved your post. We don't moderator each individual post just the first post of a new user (as a precautions against spammers).
Thanks Myles. So a tiered membership then. Guarding against spammers is eminently sensible. Now, not to start a flame war, (I haven't actually paid close enough attention) but does this group have a preference WRT top or bottom posting? Regards, Darryl On 15-05-28 03:49 PM, Myles Braithwaite wrote:

Or, top, if you're responding to entire post. -- William On Thu, May 28, 2015 at 04:06:24PM -0400, Myles Braithwaite wrote:
