[-empyre-] empyre discussion

[Murat Nemet-Nejat]

Johannes, interestingly my own post as the guest moderator has been going
back to me for my approval, but not the guest participants. I have tried to
check the approval file seven or eight times a day not to cause the kind of
delay you are referring to. If we assume a certain approval process is
necessary, then perhaps all the posts (including the moderator and guest
participants') should go for approval. This way they are released
simultaneously, provided the sequence of the submissions can be maintained.

On my part, the biggest problem is that my and the guest participants posts
were either not appearing on the list (as happened to Adeena Karasick's,
Jerome Sala's and I think mine, or others' posts did not appear in a
participant's e-mail. Karasick, for instance, remained out of the loop
basically for her entire week. It was disappointing for her and
embarrassing to me. I spent hours every Tuesday morning (beginning of the
week) and the next day trying to solve the problem.

Ciao,
Murat
