I'm not sure who ought to be more offended at that - the ex-East-Germans you mention, or the list administrators. Comparing a moderated mailing list to the kind of oppression and freedom limitations imposed during that era is a bit of an exaggeration. A bit like calling someone who is overly strict or prescriptive a Nazi. (Ok - I found the comment funny - just don't tell anyone ;)). > And to say it clear: There may be a (good?) reason for moderation, but > when post to this list needs many hours or days to become visible: > Really bad for beginners. Or is this only for Kai-Martin and me. Just for the record, I'm not sure what our moderation policy is. Are any of your posts being rejected by moderation? (If so - just what kind of emails are you sending? ;)). -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)
