I agree!  And I'd be glad to join, if they'd take my #$%&* money!!!

I tried to sign up Monday.  The instructions say to create a login and
then to go purchase RHN.

So, I filled out the page to create a login.  The message said I'd have
to wait for the login to be approved by an administrator.  After about
36 hours of waiting, I sent an email to the contact address on the web
page asking what was happening.  I STILL haven't heard back from EITHER!
(and I've tried my login in case they don't notify people - fails)

Anyone else try signing up?  (shame on you if you didn't! :)
If so, what kind of luck did you have???

They are going to have a harder time turning a profit if they make it
this difficult for people to give them money!!!
