See- that is the rub. When I heard about the company, I emailed their techs a few times to learn about the project. I decided not to use them simply because I feared this type of event, and didnt want my email box doomed to this kind of fate. Good thing they saved my email address for later use.

Yeah. I emailed their techs twice to ask some questions, but decided not to use the software to avoid exactly this. Good thing they saved my email.

I signed up over the weekend, but never got a confirmation email. I'd like to use them, but I can't forward emails until I get a conformation.
