   either the words 'commodore' or 'comp.binaries.cbm',   
      spelled correctly, in upper/lower case, in either your MESSAGE BODY,   
      MESSAGE SUBJECT, or both. No other headers will qualify. Odds are   
      your message contains these key terms already! If it doesn't, it   
      will be silently DELETED.   
      
   ** Simply having comp.binaries.cbm in the Newsgroups: header is not enough! **   
      
    - MUST -NOT- HAVE: newsgroups *other* than comp.binaries.cbm in the   
      Newsgroups: header, if one exists. If you crosspost, it will be   
      silently DELETED. (If you do not have a Newsgroups: header, then   
      the first rule applies.)   
      
   I'm sorry about the onerousness of the requirements, but they are a needed   
   measure to keep c.b.c running smoothly, and most legitimate submissions   
   should not be affected by this policy. Please note that messages that are   
   trapped by the anti-spam filter do not reach the moderator, so we will not   
   see them if your post fails any of these conditions.   
      
   2.1.2at we approved your post, there are several reasons why it   
   hasn't appeared yet. The only reason under our control is that we simply   
   haven't injected it into the Usenet stream yet.   
      
   Normally, we post things as soon as we approve them, just to get them out of   
   our hair, so most of the time these reasons below apply. In such cases,   
   there's no one you can blame, unless you have contacts at WorldCom. Usenet   
   is a very haphazard mish
