There is no question that moderating comp.*.mac is a time-consuming job. Thank you, Mr. Long. That said, it is also clear that there is a problem with the newsgroups. I have never, to my knowledge, been able to get mail to the moderator, and I know others in the same category. Perhaps it is not my place to suggest more work for the moderator, but I feel that either, (1) a weekly posting to comp.binaries.mac or comp.sys.mac describing the state of the newsgroup queue or (2) a policy of acknowledging the receipt of submissions is called for. At the moment, the question "Will my submission get posted?" is recursively enumerable, but not recursive. That is, you wait and wait and never know when you've waited long enough.
