IMHO, this situation is so unlikely that for L-Soft to devote their human
resources to "fix" it does not sound as productive as other coding tasks.

For a PRIVATE+REVIEW subscriber to post and then UNSUBSCRIBE before the
moderation has taken place seems like a rogue subscriber. Since LISTSERV
has the list definition option of NOTIFY=YES, unless you are getting lots
and lots of UNSUBS, it should be relatively easy to spot these lame
posters, espcially if you have gone through this exercise more than once.

Having said this, the list-owner FAQ could be updated (if it isn't
already there).
