All,
This list is a "Members Only" posting list ... this is good because it prevents us from getting hundreds of Viagra commercials and such.
You can only post to the list with the e-mail address that you subscribed with.
If you post from another e-mail address, it will tell you that "Your post needs to be approved by a Moderator."
I just want to tell everyone that I normally _DO_NOT_ approve these posts to the list. It has nothing to do with the post not being good or me not liking you or your post :)
What it does have to do with is SPAM. We get hundreds of e-mails per day to each list as SPAM, and it would take several hours each day to touch each every e-mail from a non-member and verify it was relevant and not spam. I am sorry, but I just don't have time to do this.
If you post to a CentOS mailing list and you get one of those messages, you should repost your comments using the correct e-mail address that you subscribed with. You do not need to worry about removing the old post, as I will delete it along with all the others.
Sorry for the inconvenience, Johnny Hughes

Yep! I did this on accident a few time, posting with the wrong e-mail address. One of these days I will get it right.

I think everyone will agree you have better things to do with your time.

Thanks Johnny,
I used to keep up with one of the Debian lists that was not "Members Only", nor moderated. The SPAM was immense and forced me to unsubscribe from a somewhat informative list.
I really appreciate this decision on CentOS's part. It makes this a much nicer forum to read.

If you find this inconvenient then check out gmane.org, which enables web, rss feed and nntp browsing -- and posting -- to this list and hundreds more.
