maybe your address is not in the list of allowed posters?

i created a google mail account for all my tortoisesvn stuff yesterday
and set it to post as my tigris.org e-mail address. Seems to work
seamlessly, since I didn't change anything in the tigris.org list
settings concerning my e-mail addresses. I don't receive moderate
e-mails, so I think it's ok.

I'm pretty allergic to being told what I "have to" or "must" do
without a good reason. Even if lawyers tell me what I "must" do. In
Germany we have a term called "vorauseilender Gehorsam", maybe best
translated as "anticipatory obedience", which means doing something
not because it's good or necessary but of fear of getting whacked or
not meeting others expectations. This is something I distaste strongly
and Stefans first mails sounded like "vorauseilender Gehorsam" to
me...

OK, I'll revert the files where only the copyright has changed this
year, even though I considert this crap and unneccesary work

Cheers
