Are some skunks more skunker than others?
by Timothy Mutugi 04 Mar '11

04 Mar '11

Hi, I am tired of starting threads on this list and not having them posted. The last threads I have posted are not even Off Topic but they are not posted. Are posts first put on an embargo, then evaluated and then approved for posting or what? And what criteria is used? I have seen the quality of some of the posts to be wanting, but they still manage to get through...whilst mine do not. Are some skunks more skunker than others? Timo.
