The list server seems to be behaving very strangely.
This may be affecting how moderation works or appears to be working.

I just randomly checked my email and saw two list server notifications.
I accessed the newest and found it was 5 minutes old - and contained
the message below.
I approved it but the server kept presenting it for approval.
I approved it several times, so it will be interesting to see if the
list gets 1 or N or 0 copies.

I then checked the older message which was by then 17 minutes old -
and the same message. I approved that.

So make that 0,1,2,N,N+1 possible copies.

If I read this correctly and if the list server had behaved the
latency would be about 15 minutes in this case. I did not cherry-pick
the accessing. As I work on other things I occasionally check email.
It's 2:23am here fwiw.

You should put yourself on moderation and then you'll have a different
impression.
