Wow - this is getting complicated!
The process is that people add themselves to the Waitlist. But, I can also add people to the list. When a person adds themselves or I add them, they are added to the bottom of the list.
Bear in mind, this is a real Waitlist process, not something I am handling by hand.
I can log into the administrative control panel for the registration site and see the Waitlist but there is no public report for the Waitlist and to my knowledge, no way for a person to see their name on the list.
I could add a post here with the names of who is on the list with the order, but a couple of problems with that:
- There are no names - it's just email addresses and add dates
- Don't want to reveal real email addresses in public
- Once I provide a list here, there will be a good many that will want me to update that list here in public. More of a chore than I want to take on.
John - you do make a good point on not-knowing - I think I will email everyone on the list to serve as a confirmation they are in fact on it. They know as they added themselves to it, but as a favor, for you and one other who was in their car driving, at their request, I added their name for them and it would be nice to actually see an email from me that confirms it - thanks for the idea!
Finally, John, you are on the list
Let's discontinue debating this matter in public though. Email me as you did this morning with any further questions.
Thanks,
Jim
