Hmm, perhaps the mailing list admins should start moderating the posts 
of established users on the list in addition to new subscribers?

I think the admins do not like to  for several reason:

A) More work for the listadmins and believe it or not I'm pretty sure 
they have lives (we're still trying to confirm whether this is true or 
not and may or may not need to put a {{disputed}} tag on it. :)

B) It makes user reluctant to join in a conversation when they aren't 
sure whether their message will get through and if it does if it will 
still be relevant due to the backup caused by having to approve 
individual messages one by one.  Thus negating the whole point of having 
a message list.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone agrees/disagrees/ or has any 
thoughts on these ideas.
