CM Site Note: Thanks for patience getting over speed bump Thanks to everyone's patience helping us get over another speed bump caused by extraordinary growth in CM website activity, and requests for postings. We're trying our best to post at least 80% of the requests we receive, but that's about the cap at the moment. We are briefly suspending many email notifications today in an effort to catch up. And - we'd like your feedback on our notifications - if they are too many and add to your email fatigue, let us know. Events posts are being handled on a need basis, with those who are relying solely or primarily on CM, are sent in CM format with little editing needed, and sent "Special to CM," being given top priority.
