Hello Janis,

 JK> You didn't upset me August :)  I just figured you would know who created
 JK> that form.

*After* I posted the original message, the "filegate" part looked familiar. 
Then, I realized the form was indeed a subpage of your site.  The page/form was 

a good idea.  


 JK> Well, you are the first to say that it is confusing.  I think most people
 JK> just fill it in and don't wonder so much ?  When their RCs get a copy,
 JK> they aren't confused either. :)

A legit submission by a consciencious applicant would mostly likely be 
"complete" and all the fields would mostly likely have *something* so that the 
confusing "N/A" wouldn't even be a thought.   But I was the rogue, the tyrant, 
the nefarious nuiscance demonstrating that I can send crap and fake information 

- and waste your time.  ;)

If was scoping out the status of Fidonet around 2010 and stumbled on your form, 

 I would have probably sent you a few suggestions then.  <g>   


 >> My concern was that I was allowed to fill in
 >> weird info and you have to waste time.

 JK> Doesn't happen.

Huh?  Ok. Whatever.  I think there is something lost in this exchange.


 >> ..You have all the tools available for that.

 JK> So do you :)

Yes.  I get that.  I can send in proper and honest info according to the 
instructions.  But the form allows garbage too.  


 >> Just send them instructions for all that in a standard pre-written email.

 JK> As I just said above your text, that is what happens.. Did you read that
 JK> paragraph? :)

Of course I did.  I thought that you meant constomized email for each applicant 

each and every time. If it's just a pre-written form-letter reply, very good!


 JK> Much ado about nothing ? :)

Be careful when quoting Shakespear:

Anyway, I thought you would be excited about improving "the form".  Nevermind.  

Stay in the past.  lol
