Joel, you're a writer.  You should know better than to make that kind of
sweeping statement.  APDA is about six months old.  They are being swamped
by success.  But I certainly wouldn't call it chronic!  They aren't old
enough to have a chronic problem.  I expect that once the glut of
applications mellows out things will work out fine.  I turned in my
application the week APDA was announced, got my book early and have been
getting mailings on a reasonable schedule.

Now, what Apple SHOULD have done was create APDA two years ago, so the
pent-up demand for the organization wouldn't be quite so overwhelming.

APDA is a Good Thing.  Give them a chance to work it out -- they will.
