Listers seem angry about Board posts being gatewayed. So it appears to me that MORE education should go to both users, but also more attention to educating board users. Most Listers resent the "thank you," "new email," and no-content Board posts. Any ideas how Admins can better educate Board Users? I'm not a List Admin so I can only assist in educating there. Judy Judy- I think what you are seeing is a backlash resulting from the ill-advised (in my opinion) decision on the part of staff to make YES the default setting under Mailman for: "Send mail to poster when their posting is held for approval?" I've changed all of my lists to NO as soon as they have migrated for the very reason that board posters are very confused when they get a notice that their post to a members only mailing list (that they know they never subscribed to and never actually attempted to post a message to) is being held for review. They are sufficiently notified that their board posts will be gatewayed to the list by the blurb on the board--they don't need to know that the list admin is going to "review" and judge their post before it is permitted on the list! It tends to upset the board posters. Joan
