To top this off when I finally realized the wackiness of the supposed Brickworld web site and tried to delete my account I could not find anywhere to do so. I must have searched the site for an hour.
'supposed Brickworld site?' I'm not Brickworld.
Also, it's not a supposed site. I suppose if I publish a magazine with a
publisher as opposed to by myself, it's a supposed magazine. And all the AFOL
sites that are hosted by Northstar are 'supposed websites.'
Finally after giving up I decided to email info@near-time.net and got a reply that basically said request denied. I replied with a more sternly worded DELETE ME! And about 15mins later I got a phone call. Yep I said a phone call. One of the near time head honchos called me to persuade me to keep my account insisting that I only signed up for Brickjournal even though I was directed to the near-time web site time and time again which kept asking for money “$70+ a month I might add.” I was also told that in about 30days I would be receiving emails to upgrade my account, something of which I don't want either. “I get enough spam as is.” I reiterated my desire to be deleted no less than 15 times over the phone and he just didn't get it.
As mentioned in another note, this has been resolved. There was definitely a bug
in the system.

The thing is, I signed up for Brickjournal thinking it was Brickjournal and I got something completely different. hence the supposed site comment. Then (...)
