I second lifting moderation. Here are a few more reasons: 1) I have posted several articles to the newsgroup (requesting help on various items, offering help on others) and have never seen them come back. Either the moderator is killing them or my postings are not getting to him (might account for the lack of traffic?). I'm mailing through philabs, which should have a valid path. 2) Again, the number of messages are so small that moderation is not going to affect much. We have about 12 Masscomps here in this building, mine is the only registered machine and only 2 others even get the news. Because the machine is targeted for a data acquisition market, many of them do not get on the net at all. This leads to few postings. 3) Perhaps lifting moderation would encourage people to post more? We certainly could use more information, knows that Masscomp doesn't want to provide it. -- Michael R.
