Well I did it. I think I have sent a couple on the topic at one point which both went to /dev/null. Hence a later thread, where I realise the solution was not 100%, did not bother to include comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica.

In contrast I can't recall the last time a post was missed on an unmoderated newsgroup.

Further, I never reject a post unless I have first contacted
the author and discussed it.

That does not seem to be the experience of myself or others. There are plenty of reports of posts critical of Mathematica being censored.

This is not the first time at has happened to me either, which is why tend to use another newsgroup.

If you send something and it
does not show up within 24-48 hours at most, contact
me to make sure of the reason.

OK will do. But I must admit the I find the delay annoying, so it is tempting to send it to another newsgroup or a forum instead.

I wonder if you have an issue at your end in this case? I assume the process of posting is a bit different in the case of a moderated newsgroup to one that is not.

Rather annoyingly (and I realise this is not your fault), posts sent to any newsgroup that is not moderated get delayed if a moderated one (such as comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica) is crossposted.

If my main address at steve (at) smc.vnet.net does not get
a message to me, try my other one at sunfreeware (at) gmail.com.

OK, will do if I decide to send other topics in the future. But having a fairly high percentage of posts go to /dev/null does not make me feel too happy about using comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica.again.

I am sorry there was a problem and am very interested in this
topic. I would ask that someone post a summary to
the Mathematica group.

As I started the thread, I will post a summary to comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica.. Perhaps I'll CC it to you, just to make sure.

I did post a summary at one point (to comp.soft-sys.math.mathematica. and comp.unix.solaris) but there have been developments since then, so the summary could do with being changed a little.

I surely hope this will not happen in the future.

Me too.

All the best. I'll send you a summary at some point today.
