There is one person that reviews the moderation queue of the NANOG list. My morning was rather hectic, and I didn’t get to the queue until just before 12:30 EDT today.
Apologies to all for the delay in the messages of this thread. Please note I try to check the queue a few times throughout the day, and one last time again before I shut down for the night.
Ah, no worries, Valerie--I know how challenging it can be handling a task like that.
Thank you for all your hard work on it!
I'm just curious how Owen was able to see and respond to the messages in the thread before they were sent out to the rest of the list. ^_^;
Sometimes the person responding does a reply all - so it will go directly back to the one person, and also the list, but the message to the list may be in moderation. I would suspect that is one way Owen would see and respond. (Note, my reply all here goes directly to you and cc’s the list.)
Perhaps he's got some super-sekret backdoor access? Or is this a case where interacting with Discourse gives one a leg up on the rest of the list?
(I notice I can see messages showing up in the Discourse mirror well before they make it to my inbox).
I will have to look into the Discourse mirror, because it shouldn’t hit there before it clears the queue in mailman. Also, I’m 95% certain you can’t respond to the list from Discourse - it is a one way mirror. But that is probably now something on my list to confirm and make sure I’ve got the logistics figured out.
Thank you again for the quick reply, and all the great work you do for the community, Valerie--you totally ROCK! :)
Thanks, Matt!
