Methinks the list is also manually moderated
For non-subscribing addresses, yes. So if you post from an address 
other than the one you subscribe to you'll have to wait for 
moderation to push things through. (The days of open posting are, 
alas, long gone)

Heh. I had guessed the cause of the delay, but the out of order-ness 
was confusing, until I thought about it for a minute. =-)

For those that are unaware there is currently a rather serious virus in 
the wild at the moment and a lot of mailing lists are being afffected. I 
think its called the MyDoom virus or some such terribly script kiddy 
like name. So, if you receive an email with subject hello and a zipped 
attachment then delete it. As far as I am aware it only affects the 
smell checker of those on loonix
