Paul... you should try moderating a list like 78-C sometime.  We presently have 
almost 1,000 members world-wide.

You are barking up the wrong tree and clearly you have some sort of perceived 
axe to grind.  Your repeated "gestapo" and other "cheap-shot" comments are 
offensive to a lot of people, uncalled for and only make you look like the 
troll you appear to be.

I do not censor posts to 78-C.  A member's post either gets approved as written 
or rejected off list and re-submitted after correction by the member, if the 
member chooses to do-so.  There is a monthly info message sent to all members 
containing posting guidelines for 78-C and if the guidelines are not followed, 
messages get rejected.

78-C is NOT FOR RESEARCH AND GENERAL COMMENT... that's what 78-L is for.  78-C 
was formed for buying, selling, wants and auction pointers.

A lot of early members are on direct posting to the list although there are a 
lot who are moderated including all new members.  You'd be amazed at the spam 
and other trash that is blocked that way.

I have a life outside of 78-C and sometimes posts get delayed, not necessarily 
by me but sometimes by Yahoo Groups or other misadventure, and I have commented 
to the list and posters like nickjay when it happens.
