Well, if you look up:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libreplanet-discuss/2021-05/msg00081.html
where I ask:
BTW, I didn't send my two email to Leah only, but to the list. How come then 
Leah's reply:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libreplanet-discuss/2021-05/msg00077.html
is there, but neither of my emails is?

However, now they are, use the thread view:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libreplanet-discuss/2021-05/threads.html#00079

It's because a dev like Leah gets complete trust, but my emails need to be read
first. That's fine, only I didn't understand it at first. And so I asked.

This method is laborious, but it might be very honest, esp. wrt what some other
groups, and not so unknown, are doing... There are even places, fora, ML where
you are told about backward moderation (or somesuch, I may not remember the
exact term). What they do is let your message appear, but later, even much
later, rearrange the whole thread, and remove the messages they do not agree
with. Your public image can get really distorted.

Sadly, moderation may be necessary, for reasons of spam, real hate speech,
unwarranted attacks, publication of libelous data or personal private data, and
other things, but the *backlog moderation* (yeah, I remember that's been the
exact term) is insane. Sometimes it amounts to soft-killing of a persons image.

Regards!
