Thanks for replying. I'm sorry to hear it's such a headache. It sounds like the list manager interface for that task is dreadful. It should be able to take you straight to the configuration for the user who wrote the message. Or even automatically change the moderation status of the user, after one (or some configurable number) of their messages is approved. I think our timezones are out of sync. It seems to take around a day for my messages to reach the list. I guess I'll just remain as a reader, and only write if I have questions. It's not a problem. I'm grateful for the fact that it's a mailing list, not a forum. Thanks for keeping it spam free. I've written a question occasionally, but I usually manage to answer them myself while writing them, before hitting send, so I didn't trouble you with those :) _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
