I prefer to try to control what I post and have it show up right away like at
this forum, then if I'm out of line a moderator can speak up and tell me to
control myself or he can delete my post (and the moderators allways have my
permission to delete my posts) but having someone else read and approve or
disapprove my posts before they show up (is that what you mean?) that idea isn't
acceptable to me.
