I have not seen any moderated messages - but will check. That is not intentional. Perhaps the moderated message you are referring to is from your email to AffCom? -greg ___ Sent from my iPhone - a more detailed response may be sent later. > On Nov 3, 2015, at 6:31 PM, Gnangarra

We are still contacting affiliates to invite them to join. So far we have used mailing lists and MassMessage to contact affiliates. Since many of them are not on this list, it is tricky tracking them all down (partly why this list is being created). As it turns out - more heard from the
