I sooooooo agree here ... and to make matters worse, when I go through all
of the groups once a week, I find a half dozen or more postings that
'slipped through the cracks' that should have been approved, but weren't
... but to get there, I have to weed through *hundreds* of postings to
find them ...

But, I think you and I are exceptions here, in that we use the web
interface for moderation, and not just email ... although I'm not sure why
its so far to do a 'Reply' and type 'Reject' since ppl have to have
already checked the body of the message to now it shouldn't be approved
... most of the work is already done by that point ...
