198. Thank you, grantcart

for being objective and fair to the facts as observed by the OP. I don't have insurance at this time and what the OP has been encountering is representative of what lots of us have been encountering and reporting.

Encouraged that you had some success in the off-peak the other night, I was one of many no doubt that tried in those same hrs last nite,as well as some other various times, and still had no luck. As you say, the problems getting on and getting the process to work to completion are not being overstated by any stretch.

You had your personal reasons for being eager and motivated to try get this done "now rather than later" and neither you nor anyone else should have to justify your desire to want do so in your own preferred time frame or to be chastised for persistently trying, given there have been anecdotes of random success. Thanks for taking a kind helpful tone and I agree that staggering the registration, if nothing else at the moment, sounds like one great idea.
