Well, if we were in the habit of editing mails to this list do you think
there'd be as much traffic as there is? Who has the time for that?
...
Admittedly, some emails do not show up - the mailing list parses for key
words and acts upon them by placing them in a queue. We don't check the
queue (again, who has the time?).
These lists are not moderated - it's opt in, opt out, and free form for
all to contribute. We allow non-resellers on our list, and persons from
any part of the industry who's interested. What purpose would it serve to
edit and censor posts? I find these lists highly useful and informative -
in their virgin form.
