When you start out on a Phoenyx list, you're moderated, as a lot of new guys (hi, everybody) have noticed. Once the first post gets passed through, you're generally no longer moderated. This keeps down the number of "I DIDNT ASK FOR THIS GET ME OFF THIS NOW!!!1!!!1!!" posts from confused persons. The list owner can change the number of posts that get held for moderation, but on GMAST it's a default 1, the "just so we know you meant to post here" level. Occasionally, I temporarily set non-newbie posters back to moderation, as I just have with "cra2." It has nothing to do with the fact that he's argued with Carl, other than that Carl is a longtime (pre-Phoenyx, even) GMASTer and thus rates a little more respect than someone who hasn't even hit his first anniversary here. If anybody (besides cra2) thinks Carl somehow "started it," they're welcome to point out where and how, and I'll happily moderate him, too. Heck, he's moderated me before. Fair's fair. Anyway. Carry on, all. Just lighten up on the carrying-on, okay? -- Karen J.
