Given this, I'm going to change how the moderation of this list is handled a little bit moving forward. Previously, there has been no hands-on moderation of this list.
Then how come I had two posts returned to me last week with the message:
5.x.0 - Message bounced by administrator
They were arguably trivial and off-topic, so I accepted that decision. But now someone says that decision wasn't being made?
If there are three moderators on this list, are all of them on the same page about what the moderation policy is or isn't? Will they be in the future?

I'll respond to other things shortly, but just got home and saw this and wanted to get to it right away.
If your message was bounced, it's a bug with the listserv, and not one of us. Currently, there is absolutely no active moderation on this list with the exception that messages sent by non-members are screened, and sometimes, the auto-administration filters catch and discard messages that have the list only as an implicit destination (i.e., on the cc or bcc line.) I am 100% positive about this - we don't currently have the technical ability to screen posts from people who aren't flagged +moderate, and I just checked and you are not and haven't been flagged +moderate.
