Man I know this is in the wrong forum, so first let me apologize.  
However, I can’t figure out why I am unable to post in the JRuby  
google group. I have tried on two separate occasions (12 hours apart)  
and it’s now approaching 12 hours since my last attempt. What am I  
doing wrong? I think there’s a wait for first time posters, but does  
it usually take this long?

Once again, my apologies for posting in the wrong forum. However,  
addressing it doesn’t make it right, but please understand my  
frustration.

Thank you, and I really appreciate it. I’ll go look into it now.

Side note: these mailing lists are a little silly. I don’t know why  
they just don’t use forums instead.

pyou cant post to it through google groups. You have to go in an  
physically join their list. The postings APPEAR in google groups, but  
posting to and replying to posts must be done through their list via  
emailing removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid . You can subscribe to their list at:  
[http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage\_email/removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email/removed_email_address@domain.invalid)

Off-topic and just my opinion:  
Because forums are for people with email disabilities.  
Backed by my enjoying the mailing-lists far more since I filtered forum  
posted messages from them…
