Moderated newsgroup set up as UNmoderated on AOL?

I am posting here in addition to having e-mailed newsmaster@aol.com, in 
compliance with the form letter which I received in response to my e-mail.

In addition to being the moderator of alt.support.childfree.moderated, a 
Usenet group created five or six weeks ago, I am also an AOL subscriber.  
AOL just added ascm to its available newsgroups within the last 24 hours or 
so.

I posted a "test" message to the group from my AOL account tonight, and
was dismayed to find that it failed to turn up in the moderation queue
at all, and is already visible on the newsgroup ONLY when viewed from
AOL, not from other servers.  It is my understanding that this
combination of circumstances generally indicates that a group has been
misconfigured as an UNmoderated group on the individual news server.  I 
also am informed that this condition will result in AOL members' posts not 
being seen by others who are reading via correctly configured servers.

As there are about 50 AOL members contributing to our "parent"
(unmoderated) group who will undoubtedly wish to participate in the
moderated group, we are hoping for prompt attention to this matter from 
AOL's Newsmaster.

If anyone has any suggestions, light to shed, etc., it will be most 
welcome.

Thank you.
