While I'd like them to announce a submission, how positive would it be if a month from now they announced an acceptance. I.E. they submitted in under 30 days, and received an acceptance in less than 45 days from the prior announcement. That would be a way to surprise everyone, especially the shorts.
Thank you for your thoughtful reply. As I posted recently to Skitahoe, (and I accept anyone else’s point of view as we all have our own opinions of managements clarity to this point) I am just going to be thrilled and expect nothing more or less than a PR in the next 30-45 days citing an accepted MAA.
