[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.
