I agree that submitters need to get an "acknowledgment" response from
the moderators.  Additionally, it might be very beneficial if, from
time to time, the moderators would post a list of software that is
PENDING to be posted to comp.binaries.mac.  All too often I've seen
people SAY they are going to post, or that they posted something,
but I can never tell if I just missed it, or it was posted long ago,
or there is a significant wait.  Could you moderators post a list
every other week or so of all the backlog?

Once again, thanks a *LOT* for all the work you do in making
comp.binaries.mac a *BIG* success and a *GREAT* help to those of us
who only have USENET access.
