The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
@Miguel and Bob: I'm sorry it's taking so long. Gab has almost 100,000 registered users already, and a waiting list of well over 1 million, as far as I know. It's staffed entirely by volunteers at this point, and is self-funded by its founders and donations from members. Under the circumstances, it can't yet afford to hire staff to perform administrative functions like speed up the processing of membership applications.
I'll talk to some people, and see if I can find out whether there are plans to move things along faster. Meanwhile, as an 'early adopter', I can assure you, it's worth the wait!
One of these centuries I shall be allowed in GAB. I do swear you have to wait less at the DMV or Vet Admisnitration
ReplyDeleteA Loo-d joke.
ReplyDeleteAmen Miguel, waiting, waiting, waiting.

No problem Peter, I have plenty of time... I'm only 77 years old (the new 50). LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for that, Bob. That makes me 47. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's odd with Gab. I got in almost as soon as I applied, and the waiting list was supposed to be long even then. This wa several weeks ago, though.
ReplyDeleteGab is great. I'm in the 'maybe I should learn to program so I can get an app for it on my phone' point right now.
Delete'Disaster" is mild.
