This group is unmoderated, but nonetheless has a moderator. If there's a concern with how the group is regulating itself, you are welcome to drop me a note (see email addresses at the bottom).

To reduce spam, new members are moderated. This means your first post will be delayed until I check it out. Just post to the Group like any other member, but expect a delay of a half to a few days before your message appears. After your first on-topic post you'll be unmoderated and can post at will. If you have Taoism related commercial messages, then a calm, two-line description + link is OK every so often (not more than monthly).

If you find yourself blocked from posting, and you're not a spammer, then you've probably been "bounced" by Yahoo Groups for having undeliverable email for 5 days in a row. If that happens, visit your "My Groups" page at Yahoo.com: http://groups.yahoo.com/mygroups (Note: Moderators no longer can Unbounce you).
