Last update was by @isaac on August 21st: “Ok. I’m looking into this. Thanks!”
cool, thanks for the update.
Just checking in, it’s been two weeks since the last update. Not 100% sure what ‘soon’ means
I have not been on top of this list. I find it difficult to pay attention when they are not being sent to my inbox. Alas.
