What's happened to comp.sys.acorn.announce?

[Dave Higton]

I've sent two messages to the csaa moderator(s), but no sign of
their appearance on the newsgroup. I'm sure Andrew was entitled
to be tired after the MUG show, but now?...

I received a posting on the 4th Dec and Andrew does ask for two or
three days grace for messages to be handled.

I've not seen them to approve, I'm afraid! I've just checked the submission
addresses and the forwarding service at moderators.isc.org and all seems to
be working fine, so I hope it's a problem at my end rather than a fault with
the systems. Could you try resubmitting your announcement, Dave, and Cc it
to me directly at my personal address?

Andrew's not to blame, at least! He's taking a well-deserved break from
moderation just now, so I'm handling the approvals at the moment.

On a more general note, if anyone experiences problems with csa.announce,
please do write to us (csaa-r...@owlart.net) to tell us -- it's likely
to get any problem identified and corrected more quickly than posting to
Usenet and hoping we notice! (Of course it may be worth checking to see if
others have problems too -- but always let us know directly, for a quick
response).

Cheers,

N.

Done - for the one that still hadn't appeared. I had a response by
priv-mail from Andrew; I sent him the one that was more urgent, and
he has approved it.

Interesting... I had expected that, if the original submissions
didn't reach either of you, then you were likely to be busy, away,
etc., so other follow-ups were likely to fail too. Clearly, with
a rapid response from /both/ of you, that isn't the case!

Thanks to both of you, for fixing the immediate problem, and for
all your work in general on csaa.
