[ Yes, precisely. This is to prevent posters, and particularly spammers, from being able to override a moderator simply by cross-posting to an unmoderated group. So when you cross-post to a number of groups, including a moderated group, expect your post to be delayed by the usual moderator delay. - Mod (of soc.genealogy.methods) ] myths@ic24.net (cecilia)
