 		If you read the fine print (as you always should) you'll notice it is impossible to complete a valid application.

"I understand that failure to answer questions 9 and 32 invalidate this application in its entirety."

There are no questions 9 and 32.

 		I took this to mean that the rest of the ridiculous rights you were giving away were null and void. A nice tongue-in-cheek takedown of small print while reminding you that this is elsewhere.

 		Yes, I did as well.
First of all...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
am I the only one whose name they changed when I applied?
They changed my name from Matt to Contessa.


Anyways... the reply read:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Attention ENS Applicant:

engine has detected invalid data on your membership form.

is the same thing you received?

 		No reply here. I'm going to take the optimistic approach to mean I actually filled mine out correctly, Contessa.

 		They only changed my title from Miss to Mr.

So I wrote a response:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
To the ENS:

Although I am elated by the ENS opening its doors to new members, I must object to the salutation Mr. I specifically stated on my application that I should be referred to as "Ms" and my wishes were brutally ignored by this insufferable machine. Please note that I blame the interwebs for this mistake, but would like to return to the original state of "Ms. *****" or simply "theonlyshow" as my natural birthright during further processing of my ENS application. Any and all questions may be directed back here where my address further demonstrates the importance of a name. If my name were to end up on a coin misspelled, I'd be surely forced into an early grave!

Sincerely,

theonlyshow



And their response was such:


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Mr *****,

Thank you for your response to the Elsewhere Numismatic Society Membership
Application Form Acknowledgment Form X-92G. Your concern(s) are of utmost
importance to the Elsewhere Numismatic Society and rest assured we have
reviewed the situation as you have indicated:

Situation #31452.5: "Fraudulent data on membership form"

The Elsewhere Numismatic Society has initiated the following procedure to
ameliorate your concern:

"Operator #23 reports that an error has been identified and that your
erroneous application has been expunged from the ENS membership database.
Please ignore all future mailings addressed to Mr *****."

The Elsewhere Numismatic Society again thanks you for bringing this to our
attention. We hope this has been helpful.

 		interesting emails from Agent Shadow today.
Seems there may be a mole within the Philatelic Society cooperating with the numismatics. Also... it appears that a famous email joke dating back to the early 2000s may be connected to the Numismatic Society.
