You got 9 responses in your thread about the group's moderation. I
didn't see a response from you. I think I was the only one on "your
side", so to speak. Going back in my email archive, I see two dozen
threads in which you've participated since early June (from the same
spammy-looking email address). I was also surprised you hadn't been
whitelisted yet.

But I also give a lot of leeway to the moderators, since:
1) They're unpaid volunteers who are performing an essential service
and
2) It's unclear what kind of interface they're working with. (Maybe
they can't manually whitelist people.)

Maybe it's mostly a problem since you're posting via Nabble. Maybe
Nabble itself imposes some kind of delay. (Either way, I doubt there's
anything Nabble can do about it.)

Come on. You're hurting your case, here.

Doubtful. More likely it's either an honest mistake (No one seems to be
actively preventing you from posting), simply bad timing (It's been
pointed out that the moderators are volunteers), or something technical
(posting via Nabble).
