I am not able to post to rec.boats.marketplace, but can to other
groups. I was wondering if someone had any advice, or at least some
idea of what is happening. Thanks.
================================================== =

It turns out that rec.boats.marketplace is a so called moderated
newsgroup. At one time it was monitored by a real moderator, but it
now runs on autopilot with a script that checks the basic format of
the "subject" line of your post. If you format your subject line to
look more or less like all of the others, your post should appear
within a reasonable length of time. That said, there's always the
possibility that the auto moderator is broken at the moment. I'll try
to repost my Bertram 33 for sale ad and see what happens.
