well crud... I finally got the email, and clicked the magic link. So when I try to reply, first it wanted me to send money... Then following the instructions, I hit reload - and it says :

"There is a short moratorium before newly registered users may post. The actual time may vary from a few hours to a day or two while the staff reviews them. "

Good thing I wasn't needing a gun or anything... - or had something mean that I really needed to get off my chest.

I'll just hafta wait around for another satellite pass and enjoy my hobby. Could be worse I guess. /;^)
