   Why ?   
      
   Why would the moderator want to receive - and put into a newsgroup - a post   
   which you could not read the responses to ?

   Oh goodie.  Now all you have to do is to post in that newsgroup and see if   
   you get permission from the moderator.  That is how it works.   
      
   Ofcourse, there is a good chance, if the moderator allows you to post,   
   that, when you post the same crap as you do here, that permission will be   
   revoked rather quickly.   
      
   > How does a NORMAL newsreader handle this fallback to email for moderation?   
      
   :-)   I suggest you first try to determine if such a NORMAL newsreader does   
   indeed offer such a fall-back (it doesn't). *and only it does* try to figure   
   out how its implemented..   
      
   Kiddo, that MODERATOR list is there to allow you to make a moderator aware   
   of *PROBLEMS*.  And yours is not a problem.   
      
   It sounds to me that you have absolutily *zero* idea how a moderated   
   newsgroup works, and, as always, can't be arsed to google for it.
