Ah, now I understand.
I thought they weren’t moderating.
Did you get the original ping?
From what I can determine so far, the objection isn’t even what is posted, because someone ELSE posted exactly the same thing and it was not removed.

So the objection seems to be that the mod wants someone other than ME to ping the list.
