Me too.

Posts from new addresses go to moderators for spam deletion. There are a 
couple a day that are discarded. Posts with 'suspicious headers' also 
get checked. Non-suspicious posts from known people (perhaps 90%) do not 
get checked. We have not yet gotten into 'censorship' of trolling and 
flaming. I would prefer not being forced into considering it.

I wish a few more old-timers would consider the effect of their posts on 
newcomers.
