Perhaps it is not only best match, but something more "global". E.g. this is the first time I am waiting for scout reply for several weeks

Another reason I'm losing motivation.  I lose track of which images I've submitted or appealed, which ones I should re-submit.   Just too many hoops with these guys.  I guess the strategy with IS should be to just submit everything, let them accept whatever they want, and forget about resubmitting or appealing.
