I believe someone sees my post in the moderation cue, and

Ha! It is so funny to come back here after all this time and see what is
going on. StarFury, first of all, you can lay the blame square with me on
your Claudia post not getting through. I have had a VERY complex and tough
year, starting with my February surgery that went wrong, and had long-running
complications through the spring (hospital-acquired infection had me on a pic
line for months) followed by more complicated and painful physical therapy
than I'd had before. Then came the late spring and summer, when my elderly
parents found a home down here, and I spent every weekend schlepping up to
New York with my husband to help them pack a lifetime of stuff and get the
house ready for the sale. Then they moved here, right around the block from
me, and that quickly became a full time job that I didn't expect (taking them
to supermarkets, doctors, stores, etc.). And then I went to Paris for a few
weeks on a much-deserved vacation. Then I came back, and it was election time
‹ I'm a seasonal poll worker so this takes up some space in my life. And now
it is post-election, and I am back looking in on things. So, am I telling you
all of this so you can play your tiny violin for me? Indeed no. I am just
telling you that I was more busy than usual all year long, and thus have not
been holding up my end of things in moderation land. For at least a year,
this place has become so empty it is practically desolate. So instead of
popping in several times a day, every day, I have only been popping in to
moderate VERY occasionally, for which I apologize. But when week after week
goes by with NOTHING in the queue, I started to think that maybe this place
was just being deserted by people hopping over to Facebook. Obviously I was
wrong, and I'll get back on the stick with my daily moderation. So, that post
*specifically* not appearing was indeed my fault.

But the second point I want to make is this: I can't speak for anyone else,
but as long as I have been moderating, which is some years, NO ONE is looking
at who is posting and deciding on that basis whether or not to approve it..
You have a highly inflated opinion of yourself if you think that. Most of us
are really quite busy with our actual lives, and we are doing this ‹
moderating, keeping the newsgroup running ‹ out of the kindness of our hearts
and a love for this property. Having said that, if I read something
inflammatory, you bet I will go back up and check who posted it. But on a
normal basis? If a post is a garden variety, non-inflammatory post, with an
opinion or a link or a question, it's all most of us can do to have time to
read it and approve it. No one is sitting around moderating and waiting for
your posts to show up just so we can bounce them. Sheesh, dude. And, srsly.

Still here!
