A moderated list need not be one in which each post is pre-filtered. What if the moderator
wants to go to sleep?
I envision a moderator classing letter-writers into three groups:
* good (posts go directly to list)
* bad (posts are held pending approval)
* ugly (posts are automatically deleted)
As long as a poster didn't get nasty, they could stay on the good list. If someone
started "acting up", the moderator could shift them to the "bad" list
for a while. Like, until they calmed down.
