[seqfan] Re: Question about submission guidelines

[Bob Selcoe]

Hi Al,

;-)

I just submitted it and it was immediately published.

Problem is, one might say this about any sequence: If it's important enough 
to consider submitting it, then submit it.  Which is why there is a problem 
with the submissions stack.

Maybe not everybody sees this message (in bold red letters at the top of the 
page) when they attempt to edit or contribute, but I do:

"The submissions stack has been unacceptably high for several months now. 
Please voluntarily restrict your submissions and please help with the 
editing. (We don't want to have to impose further limits.)"

Sounds a little ominous; so I figured it might help the community if some 
guidelines were offered, that's all.

Best,
Bob
