Posting to comp.lang.asm.x86, a moderated newsgroup, is not any different for you as posting to an unmoderated newsgroup. When you are finished composing your post just send it as you normally do. Your ISP's news server will send the post to the moderator's e-mail address. Once approved, the moderator will post it. Therefore, you will not see your postings immediately in the newsgroup. It should take no longer than a day or so to see it.

If your ISP does not carry this newsgroup, you can send your post directly to the email mentioned above using the following address: clax86-submit@tmsw.no
