Why do my new posts not show up?

[matt]

New members must have their first 2 posts approved by a moderator to make sure you're not a spammer or a bot or a troll. After your 2nd post is approved, your posts will show up immediately. This is not meant to discourage new members, but just as a security precaution against folks with bad intent. If you want to shortcut your 2 post purgatory, send me an email and we can talk about it. Or just post something here that makes me think you know which end of a CAD to stick in your ear. The whole point is just to make sure you're a real person here for the topic.
