Is there a difference between withheld and/or delayed? Did you mean delayed in being posted on FT?

'Different ones' promotes the idea that a deal is pm'd between friends. I have not said that is a bad idea (actually is better for individuals) just never thought it is good for the FT community

Actually no complaints here, I am merely interested in the mechanics of what FT has evolved into.
My being on FT at any given time is not the issue. However at any given time there are always FT'ers logged on (unless it is shut down for maintenance) and it is this community that was logged on both Saturday and Sunday that missed it because it was withheld and/or delayed.
