Hopefully it is the case now though, since my experience of the subject was years ago. Yeah, it was really years ago that we once switched to the open list. Funny that people never forget such a thing :) Takashi

You have a way of knowing that ALSA will accept you and that is knowing or assuming that the ALSA project doesn't consist of drooling retards. Well, my experience with moderation has been that moderated mails are stuck in some queue for weeks. Two seperate lists, neither of them was alsa. If also is doing a better job, great. But it still has to live with the general reputation of non-subscriber moderation. When a project list goes to the difficulty of moderating non-subscribers it has made the explicit choice to _not_ become subscriber only. Then refusing valid non-subscribers after all makes no sense whatsoever. I'm sorry you got your feelings hurt by that other list but it was no doubt an accident; take it up with them. Been there, done that. In spite of people not being drooling retards, the amount of time and effort they invest into either moderation or improving the ruleset is quite limited. Problems persist. And even without mails being held hostage for weeks, every single moderation mail is annoying. Like the one I'm sure to receive after sending this out.

That's also subscribers-only. The operative term is alternative rather than replacement. Perhaps this misunderstanding is what you're so upset about. And yes, that alsa list bugs the crap out of me too. I'm more than happy to provide an alternative for that one as well. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not subscriber-only. Same as that arm list, it's _moderated_ for non-subscribers and given that I and other moderators have been doing our best to moderate quickly (I tend to stay logged in to the moderation interface all day for example) what specifically bugged the crap out of you? It's not something a poster needs to concern himself with. Totally unrelated - I sent something to the kolab mailing list a couple of days ago (it's moderated for non subscribers) informing them that I had found the cause of some Cyrus bugs that they had problems with in the past and providing a link to my post to the cyrus list with the patches attached. It sat in the moderation queue and then was rejected with non subscriber post to subscription only list. Not only was the reponse a day later when I had moved on to other things, but it got me really pissed off that I had put some effort into providing a good quality post that outlined the specific issues and how they applied to their project, and had been summarily dismissed, probably without the effort being put in. There's no way for a non-subscriber to know in advance if the list they are trying to post to will do that to them, completely negating the effort put in to writing something worthwhile to inform that community. It's insular, and it sucks. So yeah, my attitude now is that the Kolab folks can go screw themselves and track down the fix on their own or wait until I've convinced upstream to accept the fixes (likely) and they have moved to the new version (unlikely for a long time, and meanwhile they're missing out on the performance increases that having a more stable skiplist library would give them) I'm sure if I had something that I considered worth informing the ALSA project of, I'd be wary of spending the same effort writing a good post knowing it may be dropped in between the by a list moderator just selecing all and bouncing them.
