silverquill:I'll admit there are some days, when several categories get flooded, that I see that long list in the review queue and sigh.
I've been blessedly spared this experience. All of my categories only have occasional submissions or with those that are more frequent everyone seems to shoulder the workload evenly.
I would offer to jump in as an officer on some of the other heavily trafficed categories if it makes any difference. (although I have to admit I'm somewhat of an indulgent reviewer - only flagrantly off base submissions normally catch my eye.)
