Hi folks

In the next few weeks, subscribers to this mailing list will receive
some messages that were sent months ago. Here's why.

A month ago, I became a list admin. The first thing I did was approve
over a hundred people who had been waiting to join, some for months.
Welcome to all new subscribers, and sorry for the delay.

This morning, I noticed a trickier problem. There were 134 messages
from non-members waiting to be moderated. And many of those were
non-members only because they had been waiting to join the list!

The messages stretch back to May 2010, so many of them are not
relevant any more. But many are still relevant, and may be worth
discussing even if the original poster is no longer around.

So I will be letting these through, a few each day so that the list
doesn't get flooded. And that's why you'll be seeing old messages soon.

Feel free to mail me privately if you have any questions.

Cheers
