  I'd certainly consider that a bug in their software.  It should only archive
them as they arrive /back/ from the list, not on their way out.  If they
really want to archive all of their users' rejected posts across all moderated
or semi-moderated lists, they should perhaps flag them up as 'unconfirmed' or
somesuch by highlighting them a different colour in the web interface or
something.

  Hey nabble guys, you're generally quite attentive!  Are you following this

  Surely you mean "How delightful - another bunch of clueless newbs locked
away in their own little sandbox where none of us will ever have to be
bothered with seeing or hearing from them! Muhahahahaahaaaaa!" ?   ;-)
