Why are my posts taking hours to be validated?

I appreciate that you are all busy, but can you explain why my posts are taking longer and longer to get validated by the moderators?

Also I submitted a post very late last night/early this morning and it still has not appeared!

10 hours and not one response from any moderator?

I see one post that is now validated. Also, we have many posts that require validation so paitence is a virtue.
