It could be worse.  I think the likeliest reason this occurs is that

   alain.fischer at bluewin.ch

isn't subscribed to squeak-dev.  Messages from unsubscribed email
addresses require approval from one of the mailing list admins, and
therefore may wait in the queue for even longer than 3-4 hours.  A
disadvantage of human spam filters.

Messages from subscribed readers don't require approval.

There are other regular Squeak list writers who aren't subscribed.

Well, subscribing will do it, of course.  I think some people don't
want to receive as much email as the list generates, but if you can
put up with it, that's the simplest solution.  http://www.gmane.org/
is another possibility.  Squeak is out there, known as

   gmane.comp.lang.smalltalk.squeak.general


Hope this helps,
