[comp.os.os2.misc] Silence of comp.binaries.os2

njm@cel.co.uk (nick mann) (02/22/91)

Has our news feed developed another hole, or has nobody
submitted anything to comp.binaries.os2 lately?  The last
article I saw was dated 31st December 1990.

Just wondered,

Nick.

Things (at least one) have been submitted.  Since last November I have twice
submitted a program that I wrote.  I have corresponded intermittently with
the moderator, Tom Haapanen, on a number of occasions.  I was told that 
there have been few submissions and that he has not had much opportunity to
look them over.

I am not criticizing the Tom, but if other programs are in the queue
I'm sure we would all be interested in seeing them.  If its simply an
unavailabilty of time, perhaps we should select a new moderator.

   There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't.

Well, I'm here!  :)  I currently have a few submissions, and if there are
no problems, they'll be posted over the weekend.  Indeed, the number of
submissions has been very low; I don't know if that's because of general
apathy or because everyone's company is going back to Windows.

Like I said, there is very little activity in terms of submissions.

However, if someone is interested and willing to take on the job of
moderator, I will gladly hand it over.  I this job about a year ago
as no one else volunteered, and we could not have comp.binaries.os2
without a moderator.  I have, however, since lost my OS/2 access (yes,
I'm doing Windows development now) and my time is limited.  So if
anyone out there is interested, the position *is* available...
