With newsgroups, I never got the moderation warning either.
But I did get that moderation message and then waited almost a day to
see my message in the list. But this happened only to the first message
in each list.
The first message sent to the list has to be okayed by Brad. That way, he has a
way to stop spam bots. When he sees that you at least appear to be a real
person, he lets your first e-mail through and then changes whatever settings he
has to to make it so that the list then just accepts your e-mails. But since he
has to do it personally, there can be a delay between when you send your first
message and when it arrives. I believe that that occurs once per list that you
sign up for.
The only other time that I've seen moderation messages are when I've sent
messages that are too large (because of attachments with code), at which point
Brad has to approve it. In general though, it's preferred that you post a link
to code rather than attach it (which I didn't know at the time).
You typically shouldn't be seeing moderator messages.
Thanks for clarification. I already started to wonder if it was just me :)
