Hold on; let's back off for just a second. Are you suggesting that one
person should personally view every single piece of administrative email
coming into AOL from the outside world? Let's be realistic; I read over
2000 wpm and type over 100 wpm, and I *still* wouldn't be able to handle
that load on top of my normal duties.
Remember, folks, that almost *every* person who handles root/postmaster
email has other things to do as well. Is there anyone among us who can
honestly say that other responsibilities have *never* preempted that
list-owner mailbox for days at a time?

For the record, I will state that I have received a prompt, courteous reply
from AOL staff (including David) to *every* complaint of comment I have sent
since David took over as liason. (In this environment, I define 'prompt' as
48 hours) Yes, there were some communication lapses prior to his watch, but
that is, after all, the past.

I've already seen improvement. They're dealing with spammers, abusers and
Nasty Evil Users right and left; I would understand if one of my complaints
fell through the cracks.
