All,

As a former moderator of another fairly large group (over 500 members), I can tell you that ANY solution is not necessarily a "bit more work" for the moderator(s).  The only options are 1) moderate new members; 2) deny new membership, pending approval; and 3) close the list to new members.  Options #1 and #2 are a little work for a little group, more work as the group gets larger.  Option #3 is no work for the moderators, but no removes the open nature of the list.  I believe that Jon is using option #1, which requires him (or a co-moderator) to look at all moderated messages, and approve or delete them.  That's easy if you are sitting at your computer all day, and don't have a lot to do, but if you have other things on your plate, it's a pain in the rear.  It's very easy to accidentally approve the message, which is what appears to have happened.

Absolutely true!
