There is no contradiction. Contributions are necessary, but they still don't count when it comes to T&S verification. Unless one gets an AM who is willing to count them, of course, but I don't know how many are willing. This is something else for applicants to keep in mind: AMs vary a lot in what they demand of applicants. -- Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
