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.
