This Yahoo group is set to "new members posts are moderated". This is because Yahoo groups are increasingly getting spammed, usually by people who sign up a spurious account, send obnoxious email, and then depart.
If you join, and then don't send a post for a long while, you might be surprised when that first post doesn't show up. After all, you've waited a long time to have something important to say, and it just disappeared. That's because its waiting for a moderator to look at it, make sure it's not spam, and forward it. This can take a while if you happen to hit an interval being email checks.
Once you've said something reasonable, we take you off moderation status. Your posts will no longer be delayed beyond the usual Yahoo randomness.
You can also send me a mail that's got enough info in it that I can tell you're a real person, and I'll take you off moderation before you're first post.
Thanks for your patience.
Bob
