AS3 is an unmoderated Usenet group. That means that your post goes directly
to the group, not through another person (a "moderator"). Posts are never
screened, cancelled, or altered by anyone. Also, no one on the group can
control the flow of posts. But sometimes there are problems on newsservers,
and posts don't appear in a timely fashion. Posts generally appear on your
own server before they show on anyone else's, so don't be discouraged if
your post isn't answered right away. Another possibility is that you don't
have your newsreader set to display enough articles. If you feel panicked
because you need an answer or just someone to moan to, e mail a group
member - any or several of us who seem like people you might want to talk
to.
