I thought that "Tautomerism and Protonation States in the Context of Virtual Screening" would be an excellent topic for a Symposium at the Boston ACS meeting and I expected that there would be numerous abstracts submitted. Thus, I was very surprised and disappointed when, upon returning to the US, I checked the ACS web-site and found that only one abstract (Keith & Catherine Davies') has been submitted!! I was about to contact the Chair of the COMP Division and suggest cancelling this Symposium but then noticed an e-mail from Yvonne Martin saying: > I was surprised to see that my talk was not scheduled. > Did I forget to send in the abstract? Given that Yvonne Martin is not the sort of person who forgets about submitting abstracts and given that the only abstract received was submitted back in February (before most people get around to it), it appears that there *may* have been some temporary problem with the abstract submission process. I submitted a test abstract just moments ago and it worked perfectly. IF YOU WANT TO PRESENT A PAPER AT THE AFOREMENTIONED SYMPOSIUM, PLEASE SUBMIT OR RESUBMIT YOUR ABSTRACT NOW!!! THE ACS DEADLINE (not mine!) IS APRIL 1ST. It might also be a good idea to send me a copy of your abstract.
