actually, the list is not moderated. there is an admin (that's me),
and i take care of the list mechanics and such, but there is no
one who physically allows or denies messages from reaching the list.
if your message was denied by me, then it was because you were
posting from an address that was not subscribed to the list, which
is a common occurence. those messages get thrown to me, and i
bounce them back, figuring that the person will realize their mistake
and repost.

Subject: [idm] list moderating
This list is moderated so why is all this flaming allowed to go on? Who
moderates it? I wrote an email asking about record shops in the minneapolis
area and my email was denied by the "moderaters." If I am going to get
taken out of the discussion when I ask a perfectly fine question dealing
with music while many others who have a voice tend to send ego filled mail
then this is almost as bad as alt.2600.
Would there be a way to get threads banned by voting perhaps, or by someone
actually moderating it personally???
just an idea.
