I have just completed an updated Talk page for the account MyWikiBiz. I would very much like to see an intelligent, civil discussion of the whole "Paid to edit" issue that MyWikiBiz.com seems to have set off. I have constructed what I think is a good format for that dialogue at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:MyWikiBiz
I believe that this is an excellent opportunity to determine what is truly best for the Wikipedia community, then to put it before the Arbitration Committee and Jimmy Wales.
Kindly,
Greg
P.S. I hope that this post gets through moderation. If I've done something wrong, please let me know.
Did I submit this correctly, yesterday? At the time, it seemed like my first post, because my earlier, true "first post" hadn't yet appeared in the mailing list. I'm waiting on this important post to show up now, but I don't want to re-submit and create havoc in the queue.

Gregory,
I got both messages fine. IIRC, there's an option for the mailing list to not have it mail you your own messages...perhaps it's set for you.

No, he was just on moderation, like all new members of the list.

I think we just hadn't taken Greg off mod as yet :-) Everyone who joins wikien-l is moderated for their first message; a listadmin should see the moderated message in the spam pile and send it through. (This is a nuisance, but was instituted to keep persistent trolls out.) Greg's messages from this email should go straight through now.
