While I agree with that comment...

... there is simply no legitimate reason that a moderator should have to
wait 48 hours before replying to a list message just because they
approved it. They are free to respond immediately - but only to the LIST
message.

Anne's mistake is she is replying to the message in the moderation queue
before she approves it.

Also, she mentioned something about editing a message before approving
it. That would also get your list moderator status revoked in my book.
Either approve the message or reject it, but never ever edit it then
approve it.

Baloney. They can perform moderator duties with one hat, and participate
with another.
