Just wanted to let everyone know.

We also discovered that because of the influx of non-human activity, some of our activation e-mails got stuck in the mail server. So there are some registrants who have been waiting a while to receive their activation e-mails. We apologize for this delay and have resent those messages. If you're still having trouble, please let me know.
