No, Kevin.  

I'm not pissed because this isn't a priority for either Mike or you.
I'm pissed because Mike solicited a document from me, and since the time
I sent it to him, I've seen NOTHING else from him.  (I even e-mailed him
a week later to see if he received it OK...)  No mention of when to
expect to see it on the web site, nothing.  And I think THAT'S what the
other person was complaining about, too.  **Lack of communication.** 

I understand that it's quite a project to keep a site and mail list like
Repeater-Builder running, and you have all been of much help to me on
other subjects in the past.

We got a message about 4 weeks ago (I think) to the effect that the web
page/site was undergoing rebuilding of its own.  Fine...  But at least
let the contributors know what's happening with their submissions.  For
what it's worth, I supplied my information in the specific format in
which Mike asked me to put it...  I don't mind helping out at all, and
that's what I was trying to do with my article.  But it would be nice if
SOMEONE would at least take the time to say "Thanks, it might take us a
couple of months to get this posted.  We'll keep you apprised."   

So you know - I sent this submission on June 7th... more than just "a
few weeks", as you put it.

That's all I ask.

First off, let me remind you and everyone else that my site is FREE for 
the looking.  I pay to host the information on my site(s) with help only

from those who choose to give right after Christmas when my hosting fees

are due.
Secondly, I don't pay my webmasters, they are volunteers and have other 
jobs/lives outside of Repeater Builder. 
Third, I'm in the midst of a complete overhaul of the site; in which 
Mike is doing most of this work in his spare time, yet he still offers 
to take information in about any form any turn it into a nice 
representation. Repeater Builder has an amount of information 
approaching 1 gig

Now, you have offered up some information and are pissed because it 
isn't a priority of ours to have it published in a few weeks.  Realize 
that it may take several weeks or months for it to appear depending on 
the type of information that gets forwarded to us (like plain text).  If

you want to help expedite the publishing, make a webpage that follows 
the format of Repeater Builder, check it for spelling and accuracy and 
send it to us.  If this time frame isn't acceptable, go ahead and send 
it to someone else.  My site may the the largest/busiest repeater 
building site, but it isn't the only one out there.
