The reason why the newsgroup is moderated is because it is really the Love-Hounds mailing list which is gatewayed to Usenet as "rec.music.gaffa". It is the mailing list which is the primary form. I arranged to gateway Love-Hounds originally because of problems getting mail to lots of people who were on uucp-only sites. I actively moderated the newsgroup for a while because putting the mailing list on Usenet degraded its quality, but the cost of active moderation was an undue amount of my time and a serious degradation in bandwidth of the mailing list. Sometimes I still take the mailing list off of autopilot when things get out of hand. Fortunately, it doesn't happen too often, however. |>oug

It is the mailing list which is the primary form. Does this mean that if I post to rec.music.gaffa that many will not receive the article? Should I mail to Love-Hounds-request@GAFFA.MIT.EDU instead. I notice that there are about 5% unmoderated postings received at my site. They are distinguished by a person's name as sender rather than Love-Hounds. I'm sorry if this is an often repeated question, I have been reading gaffa for several months but have not seen any posted instructions. Could you publicly clarify the best procedure.

But if you post to the newsgroup, the article has to go through more complicated software and a more cicuitous route. This brings on a lot more potential for something to go wrong, so the best way to get the posting to me is to mail to "Love-Hounds@eddie.mit.edu". Your humble pseudo-moderator, |>oug
