time.

You should not post messages to the list simply to see if it is working.

After subscribing simply wait for messages to arrive. If they do not  
do so within the expected period then check the list's archive to see  
if any have been posted <http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-user/>. If  
messages are shown in the archive with a timestamp since your  
subscription then the chances are that the problem is with your  
incoming mail - check your spam filter / spam folder, for a start.

Troubleshoot by subscribing using a different email address (and by  
waiting for messages to arrive). On this list you should certainly see  
a number of messages each day (I'd guess typically between 10 & 40).

The messages you have posted are showing up in 3rd-party archives:
   http://www.nabble.com/gentoo-user-f12640.html
   http://www.nabble.com/I-am-not-getting-any-emails...-td25128277.html
   http://www.nabble.com/How-do-I-know...-td25128102.html
so you should certainly not post again until you start receiving  
messages from the list.

Is it possible you subscribed in "digest" mode? This results in you  
receiving a daily collection of messages as a single email.

Test that hypothesis by sending separate messages to:
   gentoo-user+unsubscribe-digest@lists.gentoo.org
and
   gentoo-user+subscribe@lists.gentoo.org

The irony, of course, is that he would not be able to read your
admonition and detailed response if there is indeed a problem with his
mail setup AND if he doesn't know how to use the archives.

Sorry for looking like a idiot... I won't do it again.
