See the subject line of another recent spam posting here: "10 good
reasons for being longer".

Sure, some threads go on much longer than they would have under the
previous manual moderation system, but I think the trade-off is worth
it. Earlier this year, you posted a strong endorsement of
robo-moderation, hopefully you are not re-considering your position.

Nope. I think it's a good idea.


And it gives Dick a break to attend more beer tasting competitions - not to
mention all the practice hours.

The last one was my bad. For what it's worth, I was on a conference
call, and got distracted. Once I hit 'sent', that was that. No more
multitasking for me, and apologies to the group.

It's a "wetware" glitch, not a glitch in the moderation
software. The spam postings that have shown up in the past
few days were accidentally approved by the moderators. Even
the moderators sometimes make mistakes. Well, the ones other
than Dick, anyway :-).

I can cancel the spam messages that get approved by accident,
but they usually leak out to everywhere before I can do that
(it only takes a few minutes after they're approved before
they are transmitted everywhere, and many sites don't accept
cancel messages, which means even when I generate cancel
messages, some people are unfortunately still going to see
the spam.

========================================= MODERATOR'S COMMENT:
So why did this come via the moderation process?
