Alot of Amiga UUCP and newsreaders do not understand how to easily post to an moderated newsgroup. They are not as bright as CNews is, so you'll be getting alot of "confused" people that only carry comp.sys.amiga#? that are new to the net(last 6 months) and will not have software capable of mailing a post to the moderator automatically...Plus on a BBS, imagine the end user, not knowing he has to MAIL to moderator, but instead posts or followups with the confused software, and the item never make it anywhere...PostNews in AmigaUUCP just doesn't understand moderated groups...So you'll get more messages from -MB- and less from others... Do followups have to go through a moderator?? Poor guy... -- C-UseNet V0.42e Ronald Kushner Life in Hell BBS +1 (313) 939-6666 P.O.
