(BTW: I find that generally such things happen, because the moderators
in question have no experience with Mailman and don't understand how
things work. I usually do a remote session with new moderators of lists
on my box, so they can see how the interface works, and how the
administrative functions work. I also give them copies of the PDFs
available on the list.org site.)
