First off, to be in BLS you have to work for, you aren't just invited; Second, any suggesting of you requesting to be a member was long gone, there was no "semi-invite" as you call it. And third, I hate to burst your bubble, but er1c and I don't necessarily have the sponsoring privilage (I am quite new to BLS, and er1c is not a member yet) but by the looks of things, I don't think you would get us as sponsors anyway. Sorry, I just don't believe BLS is the place for you, that is just my input.
