From the List Administrator:

I do not approve every message that is sent to the list. To do so would be a huge increase in workload for me, and the list members wouldn't like the result, since I get to this task about once daily during the
week at best; more often on weekends and holidays.

Also, the Mailman software does not allow me to modify messages that are awaiting approval, whether because the sender is a non-member of the list or is on moderated status. I've tried to trim off extraneous garbage at the end of messages that was put there by the person's ISP, and I can't. Thus, I approve the message if it is on topic and doesn't otherwise violate the rules of the list or I reject it, in which case it is
returned to the originator.

Why put the burden on the moderator?  It is mostly laziness on the part of 
posters.  I spent about 10 seconds truncating your message above.....it is so 
simple. Easier than resetting the threshold levels of my Orion, fer sure.   73
