Hi, Julee, Tobie- For people who have never posted to a W3C list before, there is an additional step after they authorize their email [1]: a W3C Team member must approve them. This step cuts down on spam, but it does mean that sometimes a message site in the queue for a couple of days, unless one of the Team catches it immediately (there is no notification to list maintainers, again because of spam). It is nice that we don't have much spam on this list, but I also recognize the barrier to entry for new contributors. I wonder if perhaps we can tell people to contact me directly to authorize them if there is a delay in their posts? Where would be the appropriate place to do that?
