As the Project Engineer responsible for Apollo email software, I
can say that I attempt to respond as quickly as possible to postings
in this news group, or any other for that matter, when it seems
appropriate.  There are times when a private email response is
more appropriate, and those too are sent as quickly as I can.
There are times, though, that I am unable to do this a promptly
as I would like... I am out of town for a week, I get assigned
to something for a few weeks that prevents me from reading ANY
news, even the most important groups, or I have to research a
problem.  In these cases, I will get a response out, it just
takes longer than most of you would like, and in fact longer
than I would like.

I know there are many other Project Engineers that give this
the same level of effort... but, as you could probably guess,
we are rather busy right now.  So we continue to do our best
to keep up with news that needs responses...
