I have a hard time thinking of any case where a couple of week delay (or
a month for that matter) is really significant.  In cases where it actually
is a problem there are several alternatives to mucking around with the
moderation process: for example:
 - advertizing in unmoderated groups and e-mail
 - Federal Express
 - Ma Bell and the Post Office.

As a suggested answer to `How can a moderator take a vacation?':  just
like anyone else: save your money, decide where and when to go, tell
a few friends when you are leaving and when you'll be back (maybe), and
then take off.

Please keep up the tremedous service in moderating moderated groups.  You
guys have my permission to take vacations _any_time_ you want to.

BTW, I seem to remember that this discussion was started by a Mr. Poskanzer.
Is he the same guy who `modified' the GNU copyleft to read something like
   `... and if you use my stuff to make some money with, I
    want some of it ...' or words more or less to that effect?
If he isn't, I appologise in advance.
