A post you made over the weekend was a testing post and those get
sent to the admin.  There's no need for everyone on the list to see
test posts.

Posting works.  If you have problems getting posts through email me
directly - owner_at_paddlewise.net

There are filters on the list for those who forget to edit.  Leaving old
headers and footers is a guaranteed way to get a post to bounce to me.
How long it takes me to get around to editing a post for you will depend
on several factors including how often a particular poster neglects to
edit posts.

If I get tired of editing posts for someone I'll return the unedited
post to the person.

It's been a while since I intentionally dropped a post on the floor,
because of habitual non-editing, at least 6 months.

The mailing list software is NOT setup to automatically drop entire
posts, I have to decide to drop posts.  I think I've dropped about 4
posts since I took over paddlewise. Some of those were "me too" posts
on threads that I had started filtering because the topic had gotten
out of control. 

If you have paddlewise_at_paddlewise.net in the To: line or the Cc: line of
your message it should get to either me or the entire list.   I can't
think of any technical reason for needing to do a reply all or copying
yourself to get the message to the list.  That sounds more like a
problem with a particular users email package or with their Internet
provider.  If anyone wants to debate this, email me directly.

I know way too much about email....
