... The original poster is watchlisted, so the post came to me for approval. I ASSuMEd that all I had to do was judge the contents, which I did. I then also...
Refresh my memory, please. Are crossposts re calls for submission permitted? I'm referring to the article, "floating liars club: a fiction magazine,"...
... Yeah, some of us do. I was waiting for someone who knew more about the cross-posting to speak up. I'll take the question to the private mods list and see...
Stan and others: I'm only a back-up mod, but I'll try to answer you about the cross-posting in mwm. Yes, it was my understanding that the autobot was supposed...
... Kindly point me toward the section of the posting guidelines that requires one to participate in the ng--"sincerely" or otherwise--before they can question...
... I think the question isn't really "when are you going to fix this???" so much as it is "I have noticed a problem. Please acknowledge that you are here,...

... You know, Carol, I've been lurking in mwm and in here for a bit now and I can't see that anyone is trying to do anything. Being busy is only an occasional...
I do owe an apology -- to the MWM group, this board, and my fellow mods -- for popping off at Stan. And, for that matter, to myself. I have always kept my...
... You also owe me an apology. Don't worry, though, Carol, after reading this post, I know I won't be getting one. I have always kept my cool in such ... You...
... Yes, it's especially important for people who are acting as moderators to work harder to maintain their cool. No matter what you feel personally, you are...

... Except you just did. Stan has been rather vocal about being disappointed in certain aspects of the group. Some might take that as a sign that he truly...
... Well, surprise, surprise! I apologize for popping off at you. It was un-moderatorly of me. I am sincerely sorry for my lapse in mod behavor. As a member...

I'm back on the list ... I hope.... Had to change ID, sorry. Catching up reading months of posts. I'd like to thank Carol and other moderators for being here...

i guess most writers do some kind of miscellaneous writing. as in fiction writers write letters as do newspaper reporters...
I recently changed my email server and attempted to post to mwm. I got the usual welcome message and instructions. I put the keyword into the ... I'm not sure...
Nevermind. My line wrapping put the "newsgroups" header up one line and the bot apparently couldn't read it that way. I corrected it and the post went through....
... ok, thanks for letting us know you fixed it. ps that thread has been closed by a mod already, you might want to try again with another header......
... Grrr. This is frustrating. I've dropped my premium USP and am reading usenet through my ISP, and they don't carry mwm. Time to start e-mailing tech...
... It went through before Gerald's post closing the thread showed up. Inasmuch as my post was on topic, I guess there was no problem with it. In fact, I got a...
Would be cool if instead of letting the discussion of moderation policy spill into m.w and annoy m.writers we could discuss the issues here. FWIW, I don't...
