Subject: ADMIN: Help Wanted, TWIR Style

ADMIN:

Folks, it's been a while since the last This Week in Review, though that's
not entirely my fault. I was about to put one on today, when I realized
something: among other problems (bounced e-mail/posts, addresses/people with
whom I seem to be not connecting with at _all_),

Recent Cases in point:
1) The Roah thread ended, with me apparently my site missing out on about
   90% (estimate) of it

2) I saw Chris Meadows' Re:[AU] Raykor's Curse, without ever seeing the
   original post (which ruined the suspense, and part of the effect).

3) I've seen [L&S] Runaway 2-8, but never part 1.

4) Too many posts to count (including one from "my" thread) don't appear
   until as much as a week after they were put out <so I may even be
   wrong about the above :-(!>, with no real rhyme or reason.

And that's just the ones I _know_ about. I've no doubt that I've missed more,
in a good number of the threads ([WTRT] and [JOI] in particular).

So, I need (/would LOVE) help from y'all, via:
a) a recommended new site to see everything from (assuming I can actually
   <discover how to effectively> ftp to there)
b) Summaries of what's gone on with the threads during the past week
   <for the TWIR if not also my own benefit>,
c) Someone to volunteer to send be the posts I missed (I can get the numbers
   <for my site?> of the one I can view/have viewed).
d) or any other form of assistance.

I _definitely_ need this to continue the TWIR effectively; though I read
everything that makes it to my site, it's becoming more and more obvious that
that's not everything put on a.p.d-i. Either that or a replacement (And I hate
to "pass the buck" and ask).

And I would definitely like it for my own purposes. Who knows what I may be
missing out there, considering some of the wonderful stuff that's appeared
over the past year? I _hate_ knowing that I'm not getting everything; it
feels like I'm being ignored (and I sort of prefer being chided to being
ignored; the latter makes me feel unimportant/semi-unwanted) in a way.

So, anything everyone out there can do/suggest/say to help me, I'd be beyond
appreciative. If this goes unanswered, I'll definitely stick around a.p.d-i
(at least while I'm "leading" a thread!), but the TWIR will either vanish
(possibly) or be rather brief as far as summaries.

Anyway, I've had my say. I wish all of you to continue with your ideas
and/or writings with fluency and skill.

Sincerely,
Michael Sander 344lwkc@cmuvm.csv.cmich.edu
