To all those who may have submitted a paper to ALS 2000!!!

I recently discovered that there may be some bug in either Netscape or
in Usenix's web submissions pages which may have caused your web
submissions to have gotten lost.  Although the I and the Usenix
webmaster are still trying to figure out exactly why this might have
happened, there's been at least three case of paper submissions that
went awry.

Basically, if after you pressed the "submit" button, you immediately
received an empty form, then the web submission didn't take.  If it did
work, you should have gotten a "Thank you" page.

If you think you submitted a paper to ALS2000, and you're not sure if
you saw the "Thank you" page, please get in touch with me immediately,
and tell me the paper's title, and for which track your paper was
submitted.  I can double check to see if your paper made it into the
submission queue.

If you haven't submitted a paper to ALS 2000, it's not too late.  Submit
it before the weekend, and we'll take a look at it!
