      XPost: alt.free.newsservers, news.software.readers       From: address@is.invalid              Arlen,              > You might not see this 'cuz a "real" newsreader would likely have emailed       > the moderator directly              Why ?              Why would the moderator want to receive - and put into a newsgroup - a post       which you could not read the responses to ?              > Paganini *does* carry misc.taxes.moderated              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.              Regards,       Rudy Wieser              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
