Hi Lee,
I do extremely occasionally get called on to approve posts on the sf lists.
Usually this is if the post is larger than the limit for the list ( I can't
remember what that is, but I think I've seen it happen twice).
I did see your post and I have not been asked to approve any mails for a
while.
