I'm a little concerned that this mention of moderation could give the impression that we're filtering messages based on tone or content. Unless I've misunderstood completely, we do not judge the content of the messages, except that we filter out very obviously abusive trolling that the list was suffering prior to moderation, and obviously drop SPAM/Phishing/etc. if we see it. As one of the moderators, I occasionally get the chance to approve/reject messages (on the rare occasions when the other moderators don't beat me to it). I've only rejected a handful of messages, and they were almost all obvious SPAM, and IIRC one trolling attempt from a throw-away address, not otherwise involved in the discussion.
