Having just examined our mail logs, I don't see any evidence of any
"censorship" going on (which does not surprise me, since the only
filtering like that we do at all is a simple scan for spam words,
which bounces mail to the list owner). I do think I should point out,
though, that you are being pretty rude to Sam; it's not *his* fault
that Atheros won't let him release the HAL source code.
One thing that comes to mind as perhaps delaying your mail is that our
mail server does greylisting; perhaps there's some bad interaction with
your mailer's retry interval?
