Because of our recent spam problems, I'm going to try a policy of requiring all posts by new users to be approved by a moderator before they appear.*
The reason for the asterisk is that even if you have posted here before, your message may get held for moderation. Our forum software requires that users be marked as trusted by hand, e.g. it doesn't look like there is a rule that can automatically trust someone once they have passed moderation once. Some people have already been marked trusted in the past -- where the spam filters mistakenly marked a post as spam, and it was corrected -- but not everyone.
So, your patience is appreciated. It may take a day or more for a post to be approved, which is why I have been reluctant to go down this road.

Point moot. I feel vaguely foolish.
If it turns out to be just a momentary lull, I'll bring it back.
