Credentials Debate

I hate to spread this to the SCALL List but I seem to have little choice. As
you probably all know, I was the one that inadvertently set this whole thing
off. Last Wednesday I sent a reply to law-lib to a message from Ms. Pucket.
It nevere appeared, as far as I can tell. The next day I sent a new message
of my own, in part apologizing for the degree of rancor I had aroused and in
part contributed to, and stating what I hoped would be my final word on the
subject. It never appeared. I sent it twice more via the same ISP and once
thru a different ISP. It never appeared, at least not as far as I can tell.
I then sent a message to the list owner, Judy Janes, asking if my messages
were arriving or if there was some problem I was unaware of. I never
received a reply. Late today, however, a message I sent on an unrelated
subject appeared promptly on law-lib.

So my question: am I being censored? Is there some automatic rule on law-lib
re censorship? (Two messages per subject and your flagged?) Are there
subjective censorship standards on law-lib I was hitherto unaware of? Am I
simply going paranoid? Am I simply going paranoid but there actually is a
plot against me? (Remember, this is California. Anything is possible.)

If anyone can enlighten me, I would appreciate it. If anyone who is not
having difficulty communicating with law-lib would like to pass this message
on ( I'll also try to send it but I hold out little hope) please feel free.

Maybe it's all jus a vagary of the e-mail. I hope so.
