My posting seem to be going into Limbo, being sent neither to the Cypherpunks Heaven Sandy administers nor to the flames of the Cypherpunks Hell. At least this is how things now appear.
I sent the message below to the list this morning (Thursday) at 8:43 a.m. PST. As of tonight, 12 hours later, I haven't seen it on either the Singapore Web site--last archived 30 minutes ago--or on the "Flames" list to which I have temporarily subscribed (to see what Sandy counts as a "flame").
Now that a few weeks have passed, I have decided that moderation delays are the most annoying feature of the new experiment. I am subscribed to the unedited list under another account, and its almost instantaneous traffic is in great contrast to the time required for posts to trickle through the Sandfort-Bot.
By the way, I noted that many of the messages which appeared at the Singapore Web archive site have dates much later than mine, including several dated at least 8-10 hours after my message. Likewise, some of the Flames messages are dated much later than my message.
Messages apparently do not get moderated in the order in which they are received. Some messages take a very long time, as other later messages pass them by and are posted to the list. Again, I have no explanation for this unusual behavior. -- Mike Duvos $ PGP 2.6 Public Key available $ mpd@netcom.com $ via Finger. $
