Two things relate to delay of posts: 1, EVERY new member is moderated for a period of time until the moderators see that you have decent posting habits and aren't a damn spammer. When the moderators deem it okay, they will take you off of the necessity of being moderated. 2, The YahooGroups servers are getting slower and slower. This is due to one reason, the processing unnecessary SPAM. It's too bad that people have to generate spam of any type and the mail servers abound have to deal with it. There is more processor power being utilized to filter spam than it takes to run these lists and web servers. So, actually the delay is caused by one thing, SPAM, but two resulting factors affect you. Kevin Custer List Owner
