Moderating framers WAS: FrameMaker graphics question

[Ken Poshedly]

Just to let all know that I had e-mailed the list moderator either the same day or one day later (and that was what? a week ago or so?), and I still don't know why my posts are held back.

Even if someone responds with an answer, THAT response won’t be seen by the originator (unless cc’d) until another 24 hours pass, thus slowing down each response cycle to as long as 48 hours.

It's one thing to block spammers (and troublemakers) but serious users ought to be able to post their questions without long waits and to see the answers posted by experienced users who are being moderated. [As a long-time framer I suggest this with a clear memory of the flame-wars that used to break out here every year and a half or so.]
