no list traffic for cctech - culprit explained

I dug into some of the complaints that people on cctech weren't getting any posts, except from me. Here's what happened. Remember that cctech is 100% moderated. Nothing goes to it without moderator approval. The moderators are behind ;) I just checked and there's a few days of messages in there. I'm sure this will get caught up soon enough. In addition - why are cctech people getting posts just from me? Well, see above, PLUS, I set my own subscription to cctech to not require moderation. Thus, any posts I make go straight to the users without an approval step. I did this because sometimes when I send out notices like "I'm taking the server down for a while", cctech users don't get them immediately like cctalk users do, due to moderation. So by setting my cctech subscription to no moderation, cctech people would get my notices immediately. The downside of this, in hindsight, is that it looks REALLY squirrely to the cctech people. They get a string of my normal posts, and them some time later, possibly a day or so, when moderation occurs, they get all the other posts I make. Problem solved. I think what I'm going to do about this is change my personal cctech subscription back to requiring moderation. That way cctech people won't see the odd out of order behaviour. Then I'll create an additional "admin" subscription for myself that doesn't require moderation. I'll then try to remember to use that "admin" subscription to send out list notices and things will be more sane for cctech people. Regards, Jay West
