Nah, that's not the way to go. This puts too much burden on the moderator. What the moderator can do (and at least the moderaters of the german lists do), is to send a notification to the author, whenever they moderate a message (pointing out that it is a mailing list and that the poster should subscribe or at least look in the archives whether there are replies). > [...] > As you can see from the above list there are many potential contributors who > are being ignored !! What makes you think that these wouldn't have been ignored if they were subscribed? Sometimes people are just too busy and don't answer all mails, others simply don't have an anwer. If these posts didn't recieve any response, then there's no difference whether the mail was moderated or not. ciao Christian -- NP: Machine Head - A Farewell To Arms --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
