There remain, though, 2 questions: - Is what you say valid even when one gets a browser "error" page? That's common on this site (and nothing wrong with the browser, nor with other pages of the site). - I have had really lost posts (in the sense of not showing), which would be unbelieveable to have been "not aproved" (or, at least, it would be useful to know why could they be "not aproved"). Could you please enlight that (type of) situation(s)? Thx Arne for your explanation.

They are sometimes just awaiting approval, because they either contain hyperlinks or are overlong. I don't see what's so unsual about this; it happens extremely often on sites. So, if you post something, check if it appears, and if it doesn't, it's either one of these two things. Then just wait for approval and there you are. @Castro, OT but never mind: posts are never lost. They are sometimes just awaiting approval, because they either contain hyperlinks or are overlong.

Maybe that kind of problems (lost posts and/or related misimpretations) would hardly apear again... @forest

And, right as the mail, within a few days this 'article' appeared. So, just for the record: Michael, of course you are right, the Petroff IS a boring opening :) So funny: when I first saw Michael’s wonderfully scathing comments of the Petroff I thought, “ah yes, so nice, someone speaking up against this…. and now soon we will hear Arne coming up with the opposite point of view, ‘correcting’ his co-editor’s deluded views, pointing out Michael’s mistaken use of words, and altogether wrong way of expressing that view and so and so forth”.
