[horror story deleted] Most of your problems were your own fault. A) You should have reminded people about the moderate delay in your anouncment about the program. (The readers should have also rembered about this, so this isn't completly your fault.) B) Since the source was a single posting, you should not have labled it "1 of 2". C) Since the binary was a single posting, it should not have been labled "2 of 2". D) Sources and binaries belong in different groups. They are NOT logicly a single posting. Just because you are posting to a moderated group, you should not assume that the details will be taken care of by the moderator. I don't think you have a valid complaint against the moderation system here, just against your misuse of it. -- Bob Larson Arpa: Blarson@Ecla.Usc.Edu Uucp: {sdcrdcf,cit-vax}!oberon!skat!blarson blarson@skat.usc.edu Prime mailing list (requests): info-prime-request%fns1@ecla.usc.edu
