User makes a comment in USENet. Post gets seen on usenet servers
around the world.  Moderator chooses not to approve.  Post remains in
USENet, not in email list.  Later, someone replies to usenet post.
Moderator accepts.  Now people on list see that they didn't get to see
the post being replied to.

If the groups are moderated, the moderator gets _ALL_ posts before
they appear in the group.
