Not only that, but RMB contains a lot of off-topic chatter. Sometimes 
this is a friendly distraction among regulars, sometimes it turns into a 
heated debate. Sometimes worse.

RMBM also filters out 'for sale' or 'for auction' posts, and as well it 
encourages threads to remain on-topic. Once a Beatles thread morphs into 
a thread about football (for example), it won't be accepted by the 
moderators. 

The downside, of course, is that posts don't show up as quickly to the 
moderated group as they do to the regular group. All in all, both are 
handy, both are useful.
