Paul,
The Author

forum is moderated--which means that I or one of the moderators needs to approve the message before it is posted.
A lot of the authors don't check the board daily, so i've set it up so that when a person posts a message there, it is e-mailed to the author--that way they can come by and answer the question.
That said, we had a few glitches with that system, so to protect the authors, we made that a moderated forum.
I validated your post, so they should appear now.
Bob
