I did this so that current messages will distribute through the new list-serve. Currently, I'm the only one that is subscribed to the new list-server, everybody else is still subscribed to the old list-server and the server is still working as it always has. You and all other subscribers do not need to do anything differently at this point. The message you received that your posting is awaiting approval is the new list-serve telling you that your posting is being held for approval (the old list-server had already sent out your message). Other people who have posted in the last 24-48 hours have seen the same thing. I've subsequently turned the notification message off to help allivate the confusion. Two things to keep in mind regarding your posting: 1) It was delivered immediatly to everybody via the old list-server and was not held up in any way to the group. 2) The old list-server delivered a copy of your message to the new list-server. I'm currently the only one subscribed to the new list-server. However, the new list-server didn't recognize you has a current member (because you aren't subscribed to the new list-server yet) and held up your message to be approved. It then sent you a message saying your posting was being held for approval. I don't know if this helped explain things or if it confused you more. Regardless, just keep these things in mind: 1) The same old canslim list-server is still in place and will be until I indicate otherwise. 2) I won't make the transition unless or until: a) I'm confident that the new list-server will give us equal or better service. b) The transition can be done in a smooth manner. 3) I will continue experiementing in ways that will not disrupt the operations of the old list-server, but in ways that may raise questions or cause confusion from time to time. You're not the only person to be confused by my experimentation. 4) I may conclude in the end to not make the switch. However, at this point I am leaning to making the switch. 5) Once I'm satisfied the move will be good, I'll throw the switch and we'll all move over to the new list-server en-mass. I won't do this without letting everyone know a date and a time well ahead of time.

Hi Tom, you need your = rest!
 
I found another sugar oasis! I know = I'm a couple=20 of years behind the times but it's Starbuck's. Visited three of them = this past=20 week to see what was going on and found:
1. of the 100 or so orders I saw, no = one ordered=20 coffee, all of the orders were super-charged with stuff to make their = burnt=20 tasting coffee palatable (yes I had a latte)
2. over 50% of the beverage orders = were=20 accompanied by bakery goodies
3. several orders were for bakery=20 goodies only 
4. 90+% of the customers were well = dressed women=20 (during business hours)
5. after working hours mostly=20 couples
 
I sent an email to McDonald's and told = them to=20 scrap their $1 a meal program, triple their prices by adding more = syrup to=20 their soft drinks and milk shakes.... and giving away a bag of Oreo's = with every=20 order over $5.00...
 
BTW, McD's is selling coffee to = seniors (free=20 refills) at $0.31 cup... guess I'll have to try them because I'm = getting =20 tired of Denny's and Dairy Queen.
 
I believe that this market is about to = turn...=20 I'm contemplating buying gold!

I think first and = foremost=20 we all need to remember that this is Jeff's

Hi Jans,

Hold your horses = there=20 partner!   ;-)     It isn't what you=20 think...
;-)

What I've done is subscribe the new = list-server's email=20 address to the
old canslim's distribution list.  I did this so = that=20 current messages
will distribute through the new list-serve. =20 Currently, I'm the only one

that is subscribed to the new = list-server,=20 everybody else is still
subscribed to the old list-server and the = server is=20 still working as it
always has.  You and all other subscribers = do not=20 need to do anything
differently at this point.

The message = you=20 received that your posting is awaiting approval is the
new = list-serve=20 telling you that your posting is being held for approval
(the old=20 list-server had already sent out your message).  Other = people
who have=20 posted in the last 24-48 hours have seen the same thing. =20 I've
subsequently turned the notification message off to help = allivate=20 the
confusion.

Two things to keep in mind regarding your=20 posting:

1) It was delivered immediatly to everybody via the = old=20 list-server and
was not held up in any way to the group.

2) = The old=20 list-server delivered a copy of your message to the = new
list-server. =20 I'm currently the only one subscribed to the new
list-server.  = However, the new list-server didn't recognize you has a
current = member=20 (because you aren't subscribed to the new list-server
yet) and held = up your=20 message to be approved.  It then sent you a
message saying = your=20 posting was being held for approval.

I don't know if this = helped=20 explain things or if it confused you more.
Regardless, just keep = these=20 things in mind:

1) The same old canslim list-server is still in = place=20 and will be until
I indicate otherwise.

2) I won't make the=20 transition unless or until:

  a) I'm confident that the = new=20 list-server will give us equal or better

service.

  = b) The=20 transition can be done in a smooth manner.

3) I will continue=20 experiementing in ways that will not disrupt the
operations of the = old=20 list-server, but in ways that may raise questions
or cause = confusion from=20 time to time.  You're not the only person to be
confused by my = experimentation.

4) I may conclude in the end to not make the=20 switch.  However, at this
point I am leaning to making the=20 switch.

5) Once I'm satisfied the move will be good, I'll throw = the=20 switch and
we'll all move over to the new list-server = en-mass.  =20 I won't do this
without letting everyone know a date and a time = well ahead=20 of time.
