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
