Maybe if 5 of you wrote to Steve Sieberg at NB to urge him (or Dave
E.) to take a day to get the beta-version out, we could get movement
on this. Here's the last letter I wrote him.
[I wrote Steve, inter alia, this:]
Which brings me to . . . what's doing on NB-Xy? You wrote me 11
months ago that you would soon get back to it (and we're talking only
about doing a couple of finishing touches on a beta version).
Update?
[His reply of Januaryy 2024:]
Dear Harry,
Please forgive the delay in responding. Even now, I need to beg your
indulgence. We are a bit behind because of email response to NB News
and emails we sent out. And now I have to be out all day tomorrow
(Tuesday). But I will certainly get back to you before the beginning
of next week (at the latest). My apologies for this additional delay.
(Your earlier email certainly deserved a response as well. The only
thing I would say in my defense [hardly adequate, I know!] is that I
needed to talk to Dave Erickson before responding [it's a bit
complicated] and I actually did that a couple of weeks ago, so there
should hopefully be a path forward [but as I say, it's a bit complicated].)
Steve
