Oh thank goodness!  I thought I had been banned or something!

I haven't been able to post for weeks and weeks because I always just use the
"X" in the box and hit reply.  I never even thought of trying the link.  I don't
post very often, but the last 4-5 posts I have tried never showed up, even
though I replied to the authorization e-mail.

Well, it worked (obviously).  I wonder how many people have just assumed they
were banned or something and have given up trying.  I was about to give up
myself.  I know the link is obvious in the e-mail, but the box to enter an "X"
is more obvious and since it always worked before, I just never thought that it
was the problem.  I wonder how many posts are getting "rejected" (not authorized
by error)?
