Nope, just messages that are posted by people that aren't members of 
this mailing list, or are too big or, like in your case, are BCCed to 
the list.  The mailing list wants to be THE reciepient of the message 
and not just another e-mail address in a long list of people.  That 
usually means that someone is trying to send out a spam to a bunch of 
mailing lists.

I got carried away, since 99% of the messages that get caught in 
moderation are spam, and your subject had a rather spammy sound to it, 
it got deleted.  So if you want to send it again, it should get though 
this time :)
