  So, who IS in the MDP?
 
Do you really want to know who's in the MDP? It's a very impressive mix of experience, and fresh blood. I suspect you'll hear more soon... Steve (18 years ago, 7-Mar-06, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: So, who IS in the MDP?
 
(...) Ok, I'll be the first... I'm in. The message just went out a few minutes ago that we can tell people we're in the MDP. Unfortunately, that's all we can say. John (18 years ago, 7-Mar-06, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: So, who IS in the MDP?
 
(...) I'm in the MDP... If it stands for Might Depressed Programmers :( Oh well. Congrats to everyone that got accepted! -Tim (18 years ago, 7-Mar-06, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: So, who IS in the MDP?
 
(...) I'll fess up and admit that I'm in. I think I qualify under the "fresh blood" title. -Eric (18 years ago, 7-Mar-06, to lugnet.robotics)

  Re: So, who IS in the MDP?
 
(...) Yeah I'm kinda peeved that LEGO hasn't even sent me a bummer email. I received nothing and I have the confirmation that I applied so its not like htat don't have my email. What's up with that? I can accept I didn't make the cut but c'mon...I (...) (18 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: So, who IS in the MDP?
 
(...) You're certainly not alone, Alexander, but I don't think it's a purposeful thing. It appears that perhaps some (or all?) yahoo e-mail accounts and some (or all?) gmail accounts are not able to receive the e-mails from Lego for some reason. (...) (18 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: So, who IS in the MDP?
 
(...) Mike, you pretty much hit the nail on the head with this post, thanks. I do believe its worth the added effort to email all those who applied. Besides, not all the applications had gmail or yahoo accounts. So far, I'm slightly peeved at this (...) (18 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.robotics)

  Re: So, who IS in the MDP?
 
(...) I have not received a "bummer email", and my address is tied to my own domain that I run the email server for. I don't have any email blocking active. I don't think there is any reason for me to be missing the email, other than LEGO not (...) (18 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: So, who IS in the MDP?
 
(...) Oooooooh, I know what's going on here...you see what's *really* happen is that we are all part of the original 100, they just haven't gotten around to sending us an email yet (LEGO are you out there?). Wishful thinking, -aps (18 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: So, who IS in the MDP?
 
(...) Excellent analysis. I'll go with your theory. It's either that or they're waiting to send fake acceptance emails on April 1st as a cruel joke. -Tim (18 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.robotics)

I'm in it. Jason Railton (18 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: So, who IS in the MDP?
 
(...) It is true that email is not a "foolproof" way of communicating, but it is not as fallible as you portray. And 9000 is far from "high volume" email. At least if you're talking about a company communicating with its customers. I work for a (...) (18 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: So, who IS in the MDP?
 
(...) Of course it's also possible that LEGO still have got yay or nay from the first 100 respondants, and so sending out bummer emails may be premature. ROSCO (18 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: So, who IS in the MDP?

  Re: So, who IS in the MDP?
 
(...) I got a bummer email. (18 years ago, 9-Mar-06, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: So, who IS in the MDP?
 
(...) How long ago? Btw, I think I've finally given up hope. I was thinking that perhaps the folks that didn't get bummer emails were reserves for folks who couldn't initially accept OR if they were going to expand the MDP a little bit after the (...) (18 years ago, 9-Mar-06, to lugnet.robotics)

I am in the MDP also. I do feel lucky/honored to be a part of it. Bryan (18 years ago, 10-Mar-06, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  On not hearing from LEGO (Was: So, who IS in the MDP?)
 
(...) Well since this thread is still being watched I'll make two announcments. First, I was also fortunate enough to be in the MDP (actually, I was in the MUP expansion prior to this point, but close enough). And it is an amazing and *busy* group (...)

And as I *did* receive a "sorry try again next time" mail for my ambassador (...) (18 years ago, 10-Mar-06, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.lego)
