"Think Nabble" is correct, however, that wait will take infinite time on some 
posts. There is now an automatic censoring process for Nabble posts that 
resemble the signatures of prior spambot attacks on Rhelp. It was known that 
some innocent posts would be affected, including, unfortunately, some of the 
posts from our most valued members if they happen to be posting from Nabble at 
the time.  This eventuality was noted when those filters were installed. In 
this case Frank saw it on Nabble and gave a perfectly valid reply that was not 
censored.

The moderation queue was getting 20 or thirty postings that on cursory review 
were valid, but which turned out on investigation to be duplicates of prior 
Nabble-mediated posts and the only new content was bogus advertising. The  
moderators were not volunteering to do investigation of all such posts.
