Hello,

The queue was, in fact, a few thousand messages deep, but it's smaller
now.  Also, I'm all for getting rid off all the junk right away, but the
problem is that some people submit faqs and questions to us by posting
to news.answers.  So, we can't just go through and ditch everything that
someone posts to news.answers, unfortunately.  Anyway, if you send a
message now and get the auto-reply message, you'll see the queue's at
about 200 messages.  :)
