Large moderation block.... Well, to be honest, no one wants to put in the huge amount of effort required to moderate all the posts. Often in the past I've asked for volunteers and few take me up on it - those that do often quit after a short time. It's a hassle. That's why it keeps getting backed up. As I've posted several times (and gotten no response), my plan is to cancel the cctech list and move everyone to cctalk. PLEASE before you complain about this, remember they are the SAME LIST (and thus subscribing to both lists is silly, you'll just get posts twice). If I cancel cctech, you will still see all the same posts. The only difference is there will (possibly) be some (from a strict point of view) off-topic posts. However, I'm trying to watch the cctalk list and keep off-topic threads to a minimum, so hopefully cctech'ers won't mind the switch. I believe the cctalk view has gotten much better about this than in the past (probably because I've been more dictatorial ;) ). Now if I'm wrong and there's plenty of volunteers willing to spend a good 30 minutes a day every day to moderate posts for cctech (and when it backs up, well over an hour), then I'll consider holding off on the recombination of the two views of the list. But there's a long history justifying my current stance.... Jay West
