Instructions

go to http://news.battlemaster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss.

If you haven't done so already, you will need to subscribe, do this by simply entering the e-mail you wish to have recieve the discussion lists messages and entering a suitable password (so you can protect your discussion list acount, and so only you can change it's settings). After this you will receive a confirmation message to the e-mail you entered which you must read, within this message there will be a link to confirm your account at which point you will be able to log in at the same URL above (the log in screen is just below the Subscribe area).

By simply entering your e-mail into the logging in area at the bottom of the page. Find your e-mail in the list then click upon it, then at the top of the greyed area, you'll find it by scrolling down, you will see an option called "Mail Delivery" at the very top, simply click Disable then click Submit Changes (found at the bottom of the page). *Do not* disable incoming mail from the d-list for this account if you wish to receive the unmoderated discussion lists incoming mail, only do this if you wish to join the moderated list and only receive it's incoming mail.

I'd also recommend finding the "Receive acknowledgement mail when you send mail to the list?" option some where in the middle of the greyed area. This will help you find out whether or not your messages we're received by *both* lists. Typically they will always be received by the non-moderated list, but the moderated list will usually tell you why if a post is rejected. But if not (i.e. they can be discarded without any reason being stated), you'll be able to tell because you won't receive a confirmation message.
