I hardly think it's the international date line. I get the "your message
has been submitted to the moderator" messages almost immediately, but the
messages themselves don't appear on the list until much later. I have my
settings so that I receive copies of messages I post so I can check. I'd
been noticing that messages I post don't seem to appear for a while. It's a
bit discouraging, especially if I make a comment about something which then
gets made by someone else in the meantime; by the time my message appears it
looks like I haven't bothered to read the replies before posting.
Looking at my last five messages, the delays have ranged from 6 hours and
twenty minutes to 37 hours and 27 minutes. The average is just under 24
hours.
Does this happen to anyone else or is it just me? Colleen, can you say
what's happening?
Barry.

Perhaps crossing the international dateline has
something to do with it. Usually mine don't take
nearly as long to post.
