[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Impatience

dawson@cs.cornell.edu (Dawson Dean) (04/25/91)

hi folks,

	Well, impatience has got the best of me. I posted a
program to Comp.binaries.mac in March and I have not seen it
posted yet. Now, I know that .binaries has a bandwidth limit
and there is a backlog, but Ive posted there before and nothing
has ever taken 6 weeks. Moreover, I sent two messages to the
moderator and he has not responded to either. I also saw
MacOberon posted about two weeks after it showed up in other
unmoderated newsgroups, so it seems that the backlog is not
too large yet.

Anyway, I do not know if my post is in the queue or if it
was lost and never delivered to the moderator. Does anybody
know how I can get in touch with the moderator and find out what's
up? Sending to macintosh@felix.uucp does not get any response.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Dawson Dean

I've posted things to comp.binaries.mac in the past and they've failed
to show up. I gave up in the end and now just submit stuff to SUMEX.

Yes, there *is* a backlog, and things get posted as quickly as I can
move them out.

I tried to respond, but mail to dawson@cs.cornell.edu bounced. Twice.

By now you should have already seen your posting, as it went out a day
or so ago. 

>Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Patience is a virtue.  You might also check with your local administrators
and find out why your mail isn't getting through.  I've included message 
headers below.

And if you'd have put a phone number on your original e-mail query, I could
have called when my original reply bounced.
