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.
