Not new at all. But new members (ie ppl who have joined but never posted) are sent into the moderation queue until marked as 'always allow'. I don't see how moderation would affect list volume, given people who have posting rights aren't in the moderation flow. Rai On Sun, Feb 24, 2013 at 5:58 P

Is moderation on this list a new thing? I had thought only "trolls" were blocked and others had default real-time-pass-thru? Is that not the case (if it ever was?). (The list volume seems to have dropped quite a bit, wonder if that's the reason)... On Sun, Feb 24, 2013 at 4:35 PM, Rai wrote: >

Hey Michael, I'm one of the moderators, and apart from spam, everything else gets through. It takes a while sometimes. I try not to be chained to the lappie 24/7. Rai On Sun, Feb 24, 2013 at 3:50 PM, Michael Ridland wrote: > > I'm wondering how moderation on this forum works? > > It seems many

Hi Michael, first been where you are...so i speak a bit from experience a) how big an opportunity is it ? work this out. If it is not a BIG opportunity, is it worth the risk to your house/family/kids ? b) if it is a big opportunity, don't worry about the company - they will do their own w

My rule of thumb is 70k per founder which will add up to 100k with expenses. It's not enough to live on, you'll still be going backward, but it'll probably buy you another year of runway. Hope this helps. Regards, Patrick Sent from my iPhone On Feb 23, 2013, at 7:22 PM, Michael Ridland wrote:

Craig, +1 on what others have said. There are some real "predatory investors" (particularly in Sydney at the moment; trust me i know! :) - not sure if you are referring to one of them, but be very careful - from this deal, based on what is suggested, just walk away... even if you gave them 30% fo

On more thing... "While I have no doubt they could pull off what they say" - i would have doubts. You need to approach it the other way round. This could be the result of a smooth sale to you. What they say, and what they end up doing is 99% time not what you expect - a combination of wh
