Does it always work this way?  On another eGroups list I used to mod
(SimWatch), all sent posts sat in a queue until a moderator approved them.
No e-mails were sent to the moderators.  Rather, each mod took a few shifts
(day, evening, or late night) a week, and checked the queue for new messages
periodically during their shift.  Maybe Yahoo has changed the way it works
since the big buyout.

I think the introductory period moderating would be a good compromise,
though.  It allows us some time to "catch" problem newbies who haven't been
elfed, or people who choose not to listen to their Elves.  The only problem
is that it's not always the new members who don't follow the rules, and I'm
not sure it's fair to criticize the newbies when older members are just as
guilty of netiquette violations.
