Subject: Re: The perils of writing your own newsreader - the perils of posting to moderated newsgroups
Arlen,
You might not see this 'cuz a "real" newsreader would likely have emailed
the moderator directly
Why ?
Why would the moderator want to receive - and put into a newsgroup - a post which you could not read the responses to ?

Oh goodie. Now all you have to do is to post in that newsgroup and see if
you get permission from the moderator. That is how it works.
Ofcourse, there is a good chance, if the moderator allows you to post,
that, when you post the same crap as you do here, that permission will be revoked rather quickly.
How does a NORMAL newsreader handle this fallback to email for moderation?
:-) I suggest you first try to determine if such a NORMAL newsreader does indeed offer such a fall-back (it doesn't). *and only it does* try to figure out how its implemented..
Kiddo, that MODERATOR list is there to allow you to make a moderator aware
of *PROBLEMS*. And yours is not a problem.
It sounds to me that you have absolutily *zero* idea how a moderated
newsgroup works, and, as always, can't be arsed to google for it.
