Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
Frank Casella, I have reached out to the group admins and if I ever get a reply (rare) I am told they were busy and will get to it, but never do. I can't imagine I'm the only one going through this in those cases. I will check out your groups and see if I have anything that would qualify me for a submission. Thank you for offering.
Thank you also Michael Hoard, I have entered into at least one of your contests and it was fun. Not sure you'd find interest in my work otherwise though.
Yes, I was on several groups for "back ups" too Mike Savad, but I try to make sure I fit the requirements of the group not just join randomly. That is for the group benefit, not mine. As I said I unsubbed from several and now belong to hardly any. I'm not sure at this point it is even worthwhile to submit. Maybe better to stick to contests.
All the best to everyone!
