i think there is a misunderstanding: 
1) the list in question is pdweb only (not pd-list, or pd-dev or whatever) 
2) "moderation" does not mean what you normally would understand by this: that one or several 
moderators read and approve every single mail; it is rather like it is now with the pd-list(s): posting 
should be restricted to members only; non-members and spam are caught by Mailman -> these 
messages have to be approved or rejected by a list-administrator; it's like what i am doing with the 
pd-lists each morning: go through the 60 emails that didn't make it to the (main) list and reject them 
(to real users) or send them to /dev/null (if they are spam)
