Hi Dave and All,
Inland NW Birders has never been moderated (other than removing spammers which is fairly uncommon). If you are having trouble posting to the list it's probably related to a subscription issue (for example you are trying to post from an email other than what you subscribed with). If you are having issues feel free to email me at <chaetura...> or <inland-nw-birders-owner...> If you're not sure if an email you sent made it to the list you can check one of the public archives such as can be found on https://www.aba.org/birding-news/. I realize Mailman is not the easiest email list software to deal with but it was the easiest (and least costly to me) way to migrate and keep Inland NW Birders going after the U. of Idaho stopped hosting email lists like these.
