If the list was set to "Reject," then this is indeed incorrect
according to our policy, but I have just verified that the setting is
now "Hold."

Again, the policy hasn't changed, but I welcome with alacrity any
SC-related queries at mattfrye at gmail dot com .
So, basically, what you're saying is that if anyone wants to reach
the Steering Committee, they have to rely on someone
randomly checking the moderation queue. I have a serious
problem with that. What if you go on vacation or a business
trip? What if it's something timely that the SC needs to know
(i.e. someone has hacked into the TriLUG servers and is spamming
the world)? The [EMAIL PROTECTED] e-mail address is there
for a reason. It's the direct link between the membership
and the Steering Committee. Any obstacle between that
is a problem. Yes, I know it gets a lot of spam. It did while
I was on the SC too. You, however, seem to be using a gmail
account, and that does very good spam detection so I would
imagine that to be a red herring.
TriLUG is a membership organization. The route between
the membership and the SC should not have roadblocks on it.
