We get letters

Signs of regime change over at Trans. Comm.?

Dear Professor,

Your review on paper number [redacted] titled [redacted] for the IEEE Transactions on Communications is now overdue for one week. Please try to complete your review as soon as possible.

I don't think I've ever received an overdue notification so quickly for any journal. (Yes, I'm a busy man and my reviews are often late, so I'm part of the problem too, but I rely on the editors reminding me of the deadlines, which they often don't.) I think this is a good omen. Even better would be a reminder a week before the deadline.
