NO!!!  I want to respond in public about this. It has been, what, two
months since there were any posts passed along to c.s.n.announce by the
supposed moderator Todd Nathan.  This at a time when there are supposedly
all sorts of interesting things coming out for the NeXT (I'm still 
getting huge mailings from Conrad Geiger, and people are still posting to
various non-announce newsgroups with information that really belongs in
c.s.n.a).  I'm more than a little ticked off because I've suggested to
several people in the last 5-6 weeks that they should post in the announce
group and they are all writing to me saying "My post hasn't appeared, what's
the problem?"

While I'm extremely sympathetic to the thankless nature of the job
Todd Nathan has taken on, he did, after all, TAKE IT ON.  There is
a matter of responsibility here.  Moreover, I'm not just blowing steam
because a couple of weeks ago, in response to a related post by Nathan 
Jenette (sorry, I know I mis-spelled that :-{ ) I offered to help out
with moderating c.s.n.a (I still haven't heard back from either of the
"Nathans" on this).  So, I will repeat, things are bad enough that "I'm
willing to take on the task just so things will be better" (isn't that what
Ross Perot said?  :-) and would be particularly willing to do this if
someone else is willing to serve as my "back-up" on those 2-3 occasions
each year where I hit the academic roadshow (alternatively, I will provide
"back-up" to Todd or anyone else who will really fill the needs of a 
moderator).  

I'm not trying to get into a big argument, if Todd wants to be the moderator
then fine, but prove it by getting the posts out.

Grumble grumble .......
