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.
