Look, being moderated does not mean losing posting privileges. I only 
suspend posting privileges when somebody has gotten out of hand. All 
that happens in moderation is that Les checks the post before it is 
released to the list. In fact the H-Humanities listservs (admittedly, a 
totally pompous, sterile and officious site) moderates every single post.

I don't think people really object to the rule. I don't, and I think I 
forget to clip as often as anyone else.  I think we tend to get lazy, 
excited, emphatic, agitated and then we forget.

Maybe an offlist warning would suffice.  Can't be any more cumbersome than 
putting people on moderation and checking their posts, no?
