Here is the section out of the manual that I got this idea from. It is
in appendix B. The "Moderator=" section
------------------------ Manual----------------------------------
Note that all editors may still post directly to the list, but only
those editors defined
by "Moderator=" will have messages from non-editors forwarded to
them. Beginning
with 1.8c, if the parameter "All" is coded before the list of
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
moderator addresses,
LISTSERV will send copies of all postings to all moderators, any
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
of whom may
approve the message. An example of this would be
* Moderator= All,[log in to unmask],[log in to unmask]
Note that this could also be coded as:
* Moderator= All,[log in to unmask]
* Moderator= [log in to unmask]
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Will this not do what I want? Send all messages to both moderators for
ONE to OK.

I do not want BOTH moderators to have to OK the message. Only one will
be OK'ing messages at a time. One will do it Mon, Wed, and Fri, and
the other the other days. It is just our little arrangement.

Yes, I have since found this in the manual.
