    Sent in my application. Got pushback for not sending in the entire file (even though the missing lines wasn't for me to fill out anyway). Sent in the entire file and never heard from him/them again. Smells like Fidonet so I'm not gonna
    join even if I finally get approved.

    A - You cut off the part of the application that I need for record keeping. That's why it says to send everything between the <APP START> and <APP END>. It's not my fault if you can't follow the simplest of instructions.

    B - I have yet to receive your resubmission, so once again, not my fault.

    but no thanks.

    The only email I've received from you was on 12/14. Nothing else has come in since then.

    I don't know how FIDO is working over there, but here in the states Our
    uplinks are very responsive. And I try respond as quickly as I can, though because of real world intruding on my hobby it might take a day or two, but I do try to get to all messages from my users as quickly as I can. I would love to get our first European node setup, so please give me a chance to make
    things right. I really can't be held responsible for lost emails.

    It's interesting that people who BBS would be so impatient nowadays. I know things take time, but BBS'ing is the essence of taking time. I mean I still emulate my baud rate at 57600 when I login to my local board because anything faster takes away from the experience. Shoot I've applied to SciNet 3 times without a reply over the last two years. I'm not upset at all.

    Profit!

    Not impatient, I simply misinterpretated his response. My bad.

    I never once got an application from you for SciNet. Where you sending it to?

    Hey Netsurge,

    Finally! I've applied on your BBS several times. Both from the login menu
    which gave me an error when the app was complete and it again logged in
    fully. I also tried to email the application to scinet@diskshop.ca but it bounced back as a bad email. I also sent you a local mail message at diskshop.ca but never heard back.

    This was in the last two weeks.

    What do you suggest I do? Thanks in advance.

    Awesome, at least one got through. Not sure why the other two didn't. Maybe they dissapeared into the ether.

    That's interesting. I applied via email last week and have a stable connection. Sure you didn't typo the email?

    Yeah who knows. Netsurge got back to me so I should be setup soon. Have you tried applying via the Diskshop login page? That's where I started and it
    threw me an error. I wonder if it was a glitch or not. Sometimes things work locally when you set it up but when someone else tries things fall apart.

    Anyhow, happy to be keeping the BBS renaissance alive.

    No, I just used email. :)
