It has very little to do with "the server". It has everything to do
with the moderators, who are all volunteers. They aren't sitting
poised at their PC waiting for your message to come through so it can
be posted out to the group within seconds.

I'm sure that each message is *not* moderated on the T Wells group. Messages
posted on the web appear immediately. A percentage of messages posted on
the web get emailed immediately. Some appear on the web and never get
emailed. That *is* a crap server/software.


Some groups are fully moderated. Some others are unmoderated. The
rest moderate new members, and allow them to post unmoderated after a
trial period. All the groups can moderate a particular member's posts
if there is some doubt about compliance with the rules.

If you feel that the moderators are too slow, why don't you volunteer
yourself? I guarantee you would be warmly welcomed.

I've just read the modertor's FAQ. Only new member's posts should be
moderated and I'm pretty sure I'm past that having been on one for a while
and having previously posted. In fact the FAQ describes the way I'd run it
pretty much to a tee.


Then stop moaning and whining, and volunteer as a moderator.
