When it starts, you are then randomly assigned a # (I was 4676) and then it counts down from there and gives you an estimated wait time (mine was 50 mins). I waited...and after about 20-25 minutes it was over. Seemed like they got through about 1700 of them. I had heard that the "magic number" was like 1500 and that seems about right.
I know many of you have no interest in this! But in case anyone was wondering. It was fine, you had to stay on the computer during the wait but you could be doing other work, browsing, etc as long as you kept the tab on your internet browser active.
That's it--Jeff

I'm 0-for-4. I've found them to be an utter waste of time. I think the 1,500 figure is probably correct. I still don't see how they can allocate only 20% of their resources to get these done within 90 days AND continue to clear the backlog. Color me skeptical.
It would be nice if PSA would do something solely for long-time submitters who continue to be shoved to the back of the line by the newbies.
