wondering where I am at in line?

There are large gaps in invoice numbers, and updates have come... 5/25, 6/01, 6/11.. so, 6 days, 10days,and now 15 days and counting. By the numbers inv.1642 was ready on 6/11 but, 1624 just posted that his were to be ready 6/25 per e-mail. See how someone might see that as not meaning much? -jason-

Don't be sorry Jason, there's nothing to be sorry about. You are correct when you say a long period between updates dilutes the usefulness of this tool. Unfortunately, I suspect it takes a bit of time to do this "info" update, possibly as long as it takes to do a tune. So, where do we put our priorities?

I agree, the "gaps" are troublesome. What do they really mean? I honestly don't know. But, when updates are made, you can get a sense of the progress.

And, if you've been skipped, you know there's a problem.

All in all, I see us as being better off than we were before, regarding "where we are in the wait queue".
