[meteorite-list] OT: Frustrated

[Guenther]

Hi Jim,

I had the same problem at first. The problem was on my end. My email
settings are set to automatically send emails in HTML format. That's the way
I like it for day to day emails. When posting to a newsgroup I always have
to make sure that I double check that I am sending in Plain Text before
posting. Sometimes I forget and the message doesn't get posted. It should be
posted within a few seconds and when it doesn't I know I made the mistake.
If any of yours ever got posted if they were in HTML format, it would only
have been because Art made the correction and posted it on your behalf.

The only other thing I can think of that would keep your messages from
getting posted immediately is that it is stuck in Art's SPAM filter waiting
to be authenticated as legitimate. In which case, either the posting itself
or your email address may have been flagged. This can happen due to many
reasons and each email server's SPAM filter settings are different. Once an
email address is flagged, it is a manual process to allow that email address
to be delivered normally. Maybe ask Art if your email address is flagged.

I hope this helps.

Abe Guenther

I think that you're just encountering traffic jams on the super  
information highway. :)

I'm getting a little frustrated  as you can see from my heading. Am I
doing something wrong? Seems like a  certain amount of people's posts
appear instantly where others have to wait a  considerable amount of
time, and I mean alot of time. I could have walked  over to Chris
Spratt's house and delivered the message in the time it took,  well
actually.... I'm still waiting for it to be posted on the Met  List.  

Art, did I piss you off? Is there some sort of hierarchy  going on here?
Those that respond constantly get the sweet card? I mean,  don't get me
wrong.. it's just so strange that postings can happen in an  instant and
others you can take a whole day before they're posted. So what's  going
on? Do we have a glitch in the matrix?  

Curious minds want  to know. If anybody can shine some light on this, it
will be much  appreciated. Because I'm at my wits end trying to
correspond with the Met  List.

But apart from that, if this gets through I wish everyone the best  of
the season, be safe and love your family.

Cheers
