so why the need of so many moderators?

1. To cut down the workload of any single one of us.
2. To try and get a good timezone spread if we can.
3. I forgot what 3 was, but you can bet it was good.

sorry Galen. you are not making sense. either a human moderator reads
it or not.
approves it or not. When they see a Carol post... it will be gone. You
know it, we all do.

That's just it. There *is* no way to reject a "Carol post." Sure,
there's a list of posts, so it doesn't take much more than literacy to
recognize the author is Carol, ......

And this Galen is why I refused to leave for a few weeks and try coming back
with a new name. It would have been impossible to fool the regulars. I
couldn't convince those who wanted me to do it, that it wouldn't work. I
hope anyone else who may have resorted to this "passing as someone else" in
fear of personal attacks can soon post on the moderated version of rec.ponds
as themselves. :-)

even though she may not use that exact
name. But it requires *two* people to reject a post. Each of the
moderators have committed NOT to reject a post solely on the basis of
headers. It would require a conspiracy of two individuals, plus they
would have to hide it from the rest of us. Granted, it isn't an
insurmountable hurdle at all, but it is pretty high. It's about the
best we can do.
