Truly.  Requested many times by many people, myself included.  Some
speculation has been that the extra processing required to count 'em up
for everyone would be excessive.  No one in a real position to know
(i.e. Julian) has said one way or another.

A useful hint for paid members:  use the "Past Reports" link at the
top of your logged-in page.  You can estimate the number of pending
spams by paging through screenfulls (screens full?) of "No reports
filed" submitted spams.  They seem to be shown 10 to a page, so
keep hitting the "Older reports" link at the bottom until you
get to some spams with links to reports.

It's tedious, and you don't want to do it every time, but if you
REALLY want to know, it's possible to get a close estimate.

NOTE: if you click the Cancel button, that spam will still show
up as "No reports filed" in the list of your Past Reports.  That's
why I say this is an estimate of pending spams.

HTH...
