A Few Terms
A moderator is someone who controls the list. They can always post.
A subscriber is someone who receives notifications. They can only post if you let them.
You are a moderator if your email address is in the moderator list and a subscriber if your email address is in the subscriber list. What does this mean? Moderators need to add their email address to the subscriber list if they want to get notifications 😉
