A factor here is that every message gets a dual posting on Mailman.QTH.net and the Yahoo Group. The message must go first to mailman and be processed then back to Yahoo and be processed. I don't know how long each of these steps take but being processed by two services and passing through the internet two times is bound to take longer than one pass. I have been a regular on Elecraft reflectors for about 5 years and I have never seen a message held up that looks like an approval process. Some times the message seems to take a while, but benign messages seem to have this happen as often as controversial messages. Eric does sometimes ask us to curtail a thread, but it seems to me that it is always when the thread is getting too long and tedious rather than when the discussion is controversial. I think the delays are just part of the internet, and particularly a part of sometimes inadequate server power at Yahoo. I notice the delays on other Yahoo services as well.
