Last night I logged in and roshi's article was in the Pitch queue, but maybe it was being moved around and I happened upon it at the right (or wrong) time. I don't know whether anyone told roshi what was happening with the article, though, and that's a problem. It appears to be in the Pending Review queue right now. I'm OK publishing it on F-Mag, with some revisions to cut down on length. I was thinking it could focus on the "hero" information, but save the charts for a link to roshi's blog for the full set of data. I'm happy to edit it, but physically can't do it until tomorrow morning at the earliest. cc'ing roshi to see what he thinks, and to apologize on behalf of the team for the delay. -- Paul W.
