Well, I'm here!  :)  I currently have a few submissions, and if there are
no problems, they'll be posted over the weekend.  Indeed, the number of
submissions has been very low; I don't know if that's because of general
apathy or because everyone's company is going back to Windows.

Like I said, there is very little activity in terms of submissions.

However, if someone is interested and willing to take on the job of
moderator, I will gladly hand it over.  I this job about a year ago
as no one else volunteered, and we could not have comp.binaries.os2
without a moderator.  I have, however, since lost my OS/2 access (yes,
I'm doing Windows development now) and my time is limited.  So if
anyone out there is interested, the position *is* available...
