[Foundation-l] Request to unblock my mails

[Mark Williamson]

I was moderated at one point on Wikipedia-l.

My experience there was that my responses and my posts never went
through, no matter how tame and unoffensive they were.

It's basically like a pet vs. a wild animal - a pet must wait for its
owner to feed it, whereas a wild animal gathers its own food. In the
same manner, being moderated, you have to wait for the list admin to
approve anything you say.
