Maria : from what i have read, you will have to give more than username and email, but postal address too. i think you have completely misunderstood - and to compare this to a terrorist attack is bang out of order!

Why dont you just wait for the link and apply for access, you might get on! its not about being new, its about being credible, so get out and chat on the threads, get to know your machine, try some of the tutorials out. You may surprise yourself and make some great templates, but until you give it a go you wont know.

we all have the same info available, no one really knows whats happening, so we all have to wait!
