The first attempt was successful, it's just that it was held for
moderation because it was your first post. Everyone's first post(s) must
be approved by a human moderator: this is the only way we found to keep
the list spam-free. The problem is that moderators are all voluteers,
they aren't many, nor is each of them working 24/7. If they are all at
the same time taking the week-end off, or asleep, or busy shopping, or
for any other reason away from the keyboard, the turnaround time for
your first post(s) can be very long.

Now that you _have_ been approved, further posts by you should make it
to the list in a matter of seconds, or minutes at most.


Best regards,
Tony.
