Tell me about it. It took TWO YEARS for a moderator to approve
me to join even cctalk. I believe the situation has improved
since then (and I am, as always, extremely grateful to Jay West
for hosting the list and understand the workload that list
moderation entails), but I think it's still useful to be able to
pop off a question if you don't want the large amount of traffic
this list gets.
