The more reason NOT to use it. My point was if you use Editor, that means
any message from anyone goes to the moderator. This puts a lot of extra
work on them as well as the possibility of approving a bad\virus\spam
message, which happens more often than you may think. This vs Private
where only subscribers can post. If you want a moderated list, you use
REVIEW as a default option. The bottom line is you receive NO more mail
from the public and no longer have to deal with it.
