Does anyone from DEC care to comment why you don't give formal
responses to electronic SPRs? I submit paper ones just for the
responses, even though I _HATE_ those $%#! multi-part forms.
Why do I do this? Well, I have 2 SPR's out that I haven't even
received the acknowledgement for (one is one month old, one is two
months old), and 7 that I haven't received responses for, ranging from
6 to 13 months old. With response time like that I have learned a
(healthy?) distrust, and want those formal responses.
I sent an SPR about SPR's (requesting electronic SPR's) back in
June of 88 -- maybe that helped. The response there (a polite thank
you) was supposedly sent in 34 days, but I didn't receive it until 14
months after it was sent.... Maybe it's time to send a followup!
