Not there I'm afraid and neither has any editor moved or declined it. Are you sure that's where you submitted it?

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
Perhaps it's just as well

Thanks for the speedy reply

 

Hi There

 

Thanks for the speedy reply. Yes I am sure thats where it was submitted to. As for the error, there have been some problems at the hosting end which should be sorted out over the weekend. Anyway I can find out more?

 

Kindest Regards

See message #14

If it's listed, it'll be listed.

If it isn't by 15th May 2005, by all means enquire again in this same thread.

I see no change in status of your suggestion. However, a mirror has been deleted, and the site was also deleted from the A-list at Computers/Hardware/Retailers/A. Please do not resubmit.

 

You may ask again in another 6 months.

A List?

I was totally unaware of any other submissions and I certainly did not submit to the A List. Would there be any reason for this happening and will it affect my submission in anyway?

The mere presence of mirrors for a site can affect its listing. It creates a presumption that some kind of deception is going on ("An honest man has the same name on all his credit cards."): we tend to check everything more carefully, and the benefit of the doubt skips right over to the NEXT fellow in line. And if we can't tell which mirror is real, we may end up not listing the site at all (because each mirror keeps all other mirrors from having unique content!)

 

All of that is true whether or not anyone ever submitted more than one of the mirrors.

 

And if it doesn't even matter WHETHER the site was submitted, it really can't matter WHO (whether the webmaster or agent, or someone else) submitted a site. And it doesn't really matter WHY they did it -- if it helps us, that's great; if it doesn't, that's a part of life too.

 

The important point, I think, is to focus on reality. The submittal is just a link--editors could do everything we do without receiving a single submittal--so forget about it. The website is what matters.
