Erm, no, read my message again. The fact that there are people in the
queue that long, regardless of reason, is an indication that something is
wrong. If the people are there because the DAM doesn't have the cajones to
say "No, we don't want you in the project" and decline their application is a
problem. It has been said here several times about some people in the queue
that they are in the queue because the DAM doesn't want to let them in,
period.
I am not saying the DAM is just or unjust in his determination. I'm
saying that leaving them there when a determination has been made is broken.
