Apparently, it takes more than a few days.... I subscribed to the list on 11th May 2011 at 07:08:02 CDT, and am still blocked. I just posted the following via e-mail: --------------------------- CUT HERE --------------------------- Date: Mon, 30 May 2011 07:32:06 -0500 From: Jim Graham <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [android-developers] Re: Android Developer's Chat Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii In-Reply-To: <[email protected]> User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.2.3i On Mon, May 30, 2011 at 04:13:11PM +0400, Kostya Vasilyev wrote: > I rememeber reading that this list is moderated for new users and it takes a > few days to be able to post (if that's the case, it's a good question why > there is stil spam here). > > Also Groups doesn't relay the posted message back, which combined with the > above, can be confusing at first. Could be. It was right after I signed up on the list. I just wish I'd known...I could have been editing my posts with vim instead of the "editor" on the Android developer's web site. I hate web-based editors. Now for another mystery: last night, I posted a question asking about how to access the R.drawable.whatever resource for the currently-displayed image in a Gallery...and after reading the digests this morning (before switching back to "normal" e-mail mode), I didn't see that message anywhere in any of the digests. If I just missed it, that's fine. But if nobody knows what post I'm referring to, please let me know whether or not I should repoost it.
