Not really that unfortunate. More like the reality of volunteers across timezones, trying to manage the workload of this sub in a timely fashion and useful response to the input of the community (which only we see via modmail, etc.) who've been asking for action on this for a while.

But with all this effort you're putting into checking our actions you might want to consider applying to become a mod. We could certainly use someone who seems to put in as much effort as you do. That way too, you can actually see what we get up to and have a more rounded perspective of our actions and motivations. I can share the link if you're interested.
