We should send people a different response to such posts. Posts my nonmembers are *not* moderated; they disappear down a black hole. Nonmembers that submit reasonable posts will expect to be published, and they'll be surprised and discouraged that their posts never appear.
Toby is right that the message should read differently.
I am aware when such posts happen. For regular contributors, I just ignore them. For newcomers, I try to respond. But the present system is imperfect, to be sure. I don't know how to change the message that the system sends out. (I mean, I don't know how to change it quickly, but of course the code is available so I could figure it out.)
