If I
understand the 'moderation' idea properly, it would apply only to
posts from non-subscribed sources.. for those properly subscribed, Things

a suitable
message diversion scheme would have to be worked out, but I'm game to give

Any possibility of immediately tagging them all with [OL] Those not on the
