Yes.  The reason being is you removed the 'Re:' from the subject
line but still pressed "reply".

We have an etiquette item which discourages that - we have people
who like to use the "reply" button to start a completely new and
unrelated topic of conversation.  So the mailing list catches this
behaviour and holds it for moderation, so we don't end up with
irrelevent sub-threads tagged on to existing threads in the archives
(or even in our threaded mail readers.)

So, the list _correctly_ holds such attempts so that someone can
see whether this really is the case, and ask the person to re-post
without burying their message in the middle of an existing thread,
or if it is relevant, approve it.  You can't deduce this using rules
alone.  It *requires* human intervention.

So chuckle all you want.  This is one of the things we _do_ get right
to improve the overall quality for existing subscribers, and make the
archives more searchable.
