Cannot post in a thread?

I have been trying to post in a thread and it will not let me.

The thread was about magnesium bars. A poster named Rick was asking if anybody might know about non Chinese made fire-steels. I think I may know of one (but you never know these days)

I tried to answer but it would not let me. I had a link in my original try and thought maybe thats the problem, so I tried again with no link and I was still unable to post.

Hopefully this goes through.

Until you have 10 posts any that you make with a link will be routed to a que for a mod to review. It's just one of the ways we try to keep down spam. Once you have 10 posts that won't happen.

Thank you for the reply.

Did I say poster named Rick?

I really meant Administrator named Rick, thats my story and I am sticking to it.

Trust me. I've been called worse.

Just don't call him late to supper and you'll be fine.
