Just to clear up any misunderstanding here, membership of the 
Feedback list is restricted only insofar as we require prospective 
members to verify that they have received and read the rules of the 
group. It is important that folks realise that this group is not a 
decision making body; it is, however, the appropriate forum for 
discussing list policy.

Regarding an earlier statement,

Going against what I just said, but again in an attempt to clear up 
any misunderstanding, there is no restriction at present on the 
number of messages anyone may post per day on any HPfGU list. What 
*is* asked is that messages on the same topic are, as far as 
possible, combined. If you answer two or three separate posts on the 
same subject line in a short space of time, it *is* possible to 
answer them in one message.

I can assure you that the elves do understand the disadvantages that 
moderated members labour under and that they are keen to see them 
through the moderation process as swiftly as possible. Keeping 
members moderated only increases their own workload; however 
demodding members who haven't got the hang of things only adds to the 
frustration of everyone else. Unmoderated members who then flout the 
list's posting conventions are another problem. But not for 
discussion here. Members' concern about this kind of thing was one of 
the very reasons for the creation of the Feedback list. ;-)
