One reason this happens is because people post to the list from an address
which is not subscribed. Their message gets addded the moderator's queue.
They then realize that they were not subscribed, and either subscribe
and send again, or send from another account, or send again so it gets
added to the moderator's queue multiple times. The moderator comes along and
approves the message(s) at some point. Thus, duplicate messages. In an ideal
world, the moderator or the original poster is constantly reading the list
and realized the post has already made it. Of course, in an ideal world,
people would subscribe to the list before attempting to send to it. :)
