I think first and foremost we all need to remember that this is Jeff's
world: his list, not ours.  We have the privilege to add our thoughts
and comments here because Jeff allows it.  If Jeff wanted to "screen"
responses, it would be his prerogative.  

This  is a classic case of an individual overreacting prior to getting
all the facts:  A bad habit good traders/investors should stay away
from.  I applaud Jeff in his efforts and again, if it wasn't for him, we
all would be just reading IBD at face value.  (Ooh - that sent shivers
down my spine).  So, thank you Jeff!

Hi Jans,

Hold your horses there partner!   ;-)     It isn't what you think...
;-)

What I've done is subscribe the new list-server's email address to the 
old canslim's distribution list.  I did this so that current messages 
will distribute through the new list-serve.  Currently, I'm the only one

that is subscribed to the new list-server, everybody else is still 
subscribed to the old list-server and the server is still working as it 
always has.  You and all other subscribers do not need to do anything 
differently at this point.

The message you received that your posting is awaiting approval is the 
new list-serve telling you that your posting is being held for approval 
(the old list-server had already sent out your message).  Other people 
who have posted in the last 24-48 hours have seen the same thing.  I've 
subsequently turned the notification message off to help allivate the 
confusion.

Two things to keep in mind regarding your posting:

1) It was delivered immediatly to everybody via the old list-server and 
was not held up in any way to the group.

2) The old list-server delivered a copy of your message to the new 
list-server.  I'm currently the only one subscribed to the new 
list-server.  However, the new list-server didn't recognize you has a 
current member (because you aren't subscribed to the new list-server 
yet) and held up your message to be approved.  It then sent you a 
message saying your posting was being held for approval.

I don't know if this helped explain things or if it confused you more. 
 Regardless, just keep these things in mind:

1) The same old canslim list-server is still in place and will be until 
I indicate otherwise.

2) I won't make the transition unless or until:
 
  a) I'm confident that the new list-server will give us equal or better

service.

  b) The transition can be done in a smooth manner.

3) I will continue experiementing in ways that will not disrupt the 
operations of the old list-server, but in ways that may raise questions 
or cause confusion from time to time.  You're not the only person to be 
confused by my experimentation.

4) I may conclude in the end to not make the switch.  However, at this 
point I am leaning to making the switch.

5) Once I'm satisfied the move will be good, I'll throw the switch and 
we'll all move over to the new list-server en-mass.   I won't do this 
without letting everyone know a date and a time well ahead of time.

Jeff - canslim admin/owner
