If I understand Kay correctly then the problem is that he responded via the questions@ list and the moderation bit was set there, which prevented some of his articles from being gatewayed to the usenet. In Kay's original thread Steve Kostecke mentioned he had removed the moderation bit for Kay, but obviously that did not fully help.
