Clearly errors and confusion are on my part, and I am sorry that I brought this up. The process is new to me, and I was unaware of how sensitive the topic was to so many.

I endeavor to help when I can, and as a new guy, I'm somewhat tentative about what I'm able to do to help, but I try to lend a hand somewhere at every event.

One registration clearly mentioned conditional status:

This registration does not constitute official acceptance until we contact you prior to the event to confirm acceptance. You should expect to receive confirmation approximately four weeks prior to the event.

The other didn't:

Thanks for registering to drive with xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Detailed confirmation information will be emailed a few weeks prior to the event at which time your payment will be processed and refunds are subject to our cancellation policy: - No refunds or credit for cancellation within 3 days of event. Etc, etc, etc.
no worries at all, Ken. i sometimes have my registrar trigger finger a little too itchy, sorry if it came off as combative. hug and a kumbaya?

and for those listening, i was mistaken and owe Handlebar a slight apology - altho it still lands him on the wait list, he did in fact reg almost 2mos ago. becauuuuuuuuse, i just realized that in motorsportreg there happens to be another "Ken", also with a "1988 911", also on the wait list for this event, who asked recently (via reg email) where he was on the wait list. ok, i know one should never jump to conclusions but honestly, what are the fricken odds??? i thought i had the right Ken!!!

i need a martini
