The archives are indeed updated frequently - but only for posts that actually make it to the list. Your first post was held in the moderation queue waiting for a human to whitelist your address; once it was finally moderated through, the list archives did indeed pick it up. And you're not the first person to double-post, thinking that the second post is likely to get through faster than the first one based on actions taken on your end such as subscribing in the meantime (not true - both posts were held in the moderation queue and released simultaneously). Non-subscribers are allowed to post. I can certainly try to update the page to be a bit more clear about first-time posting rules, and about the fact that the moderation queue applies whether or not you subscribe. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
