I don't see anything really wrong with the process until that last step. Assuming your account to be accurate, I think Fabio's decision to reject you after giving you the impression that he cared about your opinion on the subject was rude. What does it hurt to have people on hold in the NM system? Are we concerned that it makes our statistics look bad? Well, maybe our statistics look bad because our process *really is* slow. Treat the problem, not the symptoms. Mr. Walsh, I apologize if you feel ill-treated. From what I can tell, you have a right to feel that way. Hopefully Fabio will learn from this experience. (Fabio, my feelings on this subject are precisely consistent with the tiff between Daniel Stone and me on debian-x a couple of weeks ago when he said he'd let me make a decision, and then less than 24 hours later went ahead and made it for me.) -- G.
