[Elecraft] Fw: Moderation

[Eric Swartz WA6HHQ - Elecraft]

This official Elecraft list is totally independent of and not connected to the Yahoo groups. Postings are not linked. The Yahoo K3 and KX3 groups were set up by others and are not moderated by us. 

This list is the primary focus for Elecraft information and discussion. We do try to read the other lists when we have time, but do not do so nearly as often as we read and respond to postings on this list.

73,
Eric

I don't know how long each of these steps take but being processed by two services and passing through the internet two times is bound to take longer than one pass.  I have been a regular on Elecraft reflectors for about 5 years and I have never seen a message held up that looks like an approval process.  Some times the message seems to take a while, but benign messages seem to have this happen as often as controversial messages.  Eric does sometimes ask us to curtail a thread, but it seems to me that it is always when the thread is getting too long and tedious rather than when the discussion is controversial.  I think the delays are just part of the internet, and particularly a part of sometimes inadequate server power at Yahoo.  I notice the delays on other
