Hi again,
Ok, I'm sure some might say, why not ask the APS these questions directly. Well, its a holiday weekend and I'm a bit impatient. Thank you for indulging me..........

On the "Your Status" section of the APS website, there are two schedules. One is Circuits currently in circulation, the other is Current categories.

For "Circuits in Circulation"........
I would like to know what the column "Your Status - joined" means.
Also, the column "Circuit Status" needs a definition. I "think" it means my status on the distribution (i.e. 1/4 or 1/6).

For "Current Categories" ..........
What does the column "Waiting Since" mean?

With the info on my page, it appears (based on my guess) that there are 3 circuits I should have received last week or so. Hopefully they just have not been sent yet...........

Thank you all, and celebrate the Memorial Day Weekend.

What did they tell you? I was kind of curious about this myself.

Thanks for asking! I felt like no one else was interested........
Under "Currently in Circulation", the circuit status column indicates with which person the circuit was with last, and how many folks are on the distribution. So "1/8" means that the circuit has left the first person, and there are 8 folks on the list in total. "Your Status" indicates when the circuit was first issued.

When you click on "view Details", it will indicate (most often but not always) what your position is on the distribution. I never saw this before, but it is there on most of my circuits.

On "Your Current Categories", "waiting since" indicates when the APS got their most recent correspondence from a recipient, which tells one it has moved on to the next in line.
