Sent from a mobile device. Please excuse both brevity and top posting.
And sigs that present lame excuses for doing so? ;)

I have actually deleted that post from the moderation queue. Steve received it because he was cc'd.
I posted from my Galaxy Tab, which has a brain dead mail client (hence the .sig which Steve finds amusing/lame) partly ironically. However, I received back the wonderfully apt message:
"Your mail to 'main' with the subject
Re: [ALUG] Fwd: Re: ALUG Posting Etiquette - was Cross-platform text file processing tools
Is being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.
The reason it is being held:
Message has a suspicious header"
(as did Ted earlier).
So - the list actually already imposes editorial control of crap email.
