Thanks for your input jagshari. but sharing updates for those whose appliations takes a long time also provides a benefit to others and some comfort to those still waiting.

When a post of someone's timeline doesn't appear to have been updated in a long time, you won't be able to tell whether they have been approved and not updated their post or not!!
