I didn't cc: off-list - I didn't expect it to disappear :-) Basically my 
reply was that I'm in London and very much up for the idea.

I often get NDRs when I post from the wrong account but I reposted this 
several times over a couple of days and nothing bounced back. The 
identity (freebsd-doc) is for the FreeBSD Documentation Project, which 
started using on other lists too.

As has been suggested the possibility of a spam filter picking it up 
occurred to me. I can be sure it wasn't mine (I don't let SA actually 
delete anything and it didn't make it to the online archive either). But 
I very much suspect it may be some filtering at FreeBSD Towers - hence 
the test and question. But this stage I assumed I'd been blacklisted for 
silent deletion for some reason. There's also the matter of whether this 
list is freebsd-questions@ or questions@ - I tried both, of course. I'm 
going to reply again and see what happens!

Regards, Frank.
