This is a function of the way the two lists work, I think. The posts you
mentioned were sent to cctech. As I understand it, that list is moderated
to ensure it stays on topic. After they've been approved, they will make it
onto cctalk as well. This causes a delay, and sometimes posts don't make it
into the archive list until they are hours old. You'll notice these posts
are now in both archives. The post with no subject had nothing to do with
it, that's just a red herring. This is the behavior of the mailing list for
as long as I remember, though I've only been on here a few years.
