I'm getting a lot of moderation requests. That is fine by me, but it
could significantly delay your posts. All subscribers will have their
messages immediately posted. Please make sure you are subscribed with
the e-mail address from which you will be sending messages.
You do *not* have to get e-mail to be a subscriber. You can change
your subscription type to "No Email" and continue to use the web
interface for reading. Then, when you want to post, your message will
still go right through.
Many Google Groups activities don't require you to have a Google
Account, while many others do.[1]
Activities that don't require a Google Account:
* Reading posts in public groups
* Searching for groups, posts, or authors
Activities that require a Google Account:
* Posting to this group without moderation delays
* Creating pages and uploading files
* Changing your subscription type (No Email, Abridged Email,
Digest Email, ...)
If you would like to create a Google Account, please visit the Google
Accounts homepage and follow the directions on that page.[2]
If you're unable to unsubscribe, it's likely that you're subscribed
with a different email address from the one you're trying to
unsubscribe. Common culprits:
* Email forwarding: You're reading an email at bob@gmail.com but
the email is actually being forwarded to this address from your
bob@fakeemailaddress.com account.
* Multiple Google Accounts: You know that you're receiving the
email at bob@fakeemailaddress.com, but you just can't log in to Groups
to unsubscribe that address; it thinks you're bob@gmail.com.
In either case, you'll just need to make sure you're unsubscribing the
address that's actually subscribed to the group. Check message headers
to see if these emails are being forwarded. If you don't have an
account for that address, create one so you can use it to log in.
While you're on the site, you might want to set your preferences so
that other group owners can't add you to their groups without your
consent.

Jason
