(getting back on topic
i did the signup on the URL thing twice, and never got a confirmation
page. i was using netscape. this time, i used MSIE and voila, got a confirmation page.
thing is i also wrote to CS two weeks ago and they said "yep, wait one or two weeks." since i got confirmation this time, i doubt i was even in the queue to get one, until now.
heck, i dunno. tired of waiting...
