I'll second that motion!! ;-)

I remember many moons ago when the new moderation for csa/cba picked
up the reigns, stated he'd start clearing the (huge) back log of
submission, sent out about 3 things and _vanished_. Whilst most
people who can use ftp sites nowdays, for the (still large) number
of people out there who are stuck on systems with news/mail only,
I think resuscitating cba/csa is a worthwhile move (csa especially)
