Worse part it seems to continue just as before.

Yes, someone else most certainly would have gotten that. Once U is released it is open to anyone *)

This again puts the webinar marketing show in perspective. Managers that don't know how things are working claiming everything is working perfectly and we should all be happy over the grandiose waitlist system they've built. It would be nice if they did some quality assurance instead of telling us how wonderful it all is.
