I would like to second this.  The moderation aspect of the list takes a
fair amount of time, and more importantly, a consistent effort on the
part of the moderator to guarantee little to no delays on messages coming
from the USENET.  In the couple of years that I did this for MHSNEWS,
I only had one article that I bounced - some crazy person (I assume) sent
a highly political message to every newsgroup that he could find in his
active file.  For the very occasional message of this type, it probably
does not warrant the moderated status.

Best Regards,
