Mike S & everyone else, How about using this "rejected list" to post only "rejections" and not "accidents" like you mentioned below. This way the accidents stay private and all can see what is actually rejected because of content, off topic, spam etc. In the mean time the rest of us can practice the <snip> technique for posting and the "copy & paste" method for replying personally instead of just hitting "reply" and giving the moderator more work ;-) On a side note . . . one of my post was edited for using the word "hilljacks". I didn't mind the change, but I wished there was mention in the post that [ [ the inserted text that replaced 'hilljacks' ] ] was changed by the mod of the week and did not come from my typing fingers.

It would be unnecessarily embarrassing and probably reduce participation in the DML. <snip> As I said in that earlier message, the vast majority of the posts which I reject were written as private e-mails, but accidentally sent to the DML. Obviously these could bevery embarrassing! Many others are email errors by the sender, such as accidentally posting a message with no new content but a 10 page quote (an entire digest edition). These things happen all the time. If these flubs were made public a lot of subscribers would be embarrassed, and no one would really benefit. -Mike Substelny DML moderating team __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
