Cool. That's the way it should be.

I wonder if that also has the side-effect of making it too easy to post to
the announce group.  :)

:) Well, posters would still have to set a follow-up line.


I don't think anyone believes that moderating the announce group would be a
bad idea...just...still...a tiny bit hesitant...

I'm generally opposed to making things moderated, partly because it can
generate a lot of work, and partly because I don't like the delay associated
with the message having to be checked by a human, and partly because I just
in principle like everything to work automagically.


I need to read up on moderated groups a bit more.  I think it's already set
up so that moderated messages get mailed out fine.  I'm unsure about how
they finally get injected -- how they get back to the newsserver from the
mailer.

Yeah I'm a bit unclear on that too. Sorry. :)
