I'm curious--what do you think is a feminist and why do you
think you aren't one?

Difficulty in posting has absolutely NOTHING to do with
moderation.   All the moderation does is remove the sex-ads
that spam the  newsgroups, or obviously commercial
messages.
NO CENSORSHIP OF OPINIONS is
occurring on this group.

I suggest  that  people who have had problems
try posting via the web page
(http://www.bio.net/hypermail/womenbio/current/)
Some news-servers limit the size of messages.

I post exclusively via the web site, as I have no
news-server access.  It takes 1-2 days for my
posts to show up, and none have gone missing
since the systems were last upgraded.
