You young whippersnappers are so impatient! Why, back when I got verified, it could take
years. First the application had to be written in blood on parchment in sextuplet. Then your signature had to be witnessed by the governor of the state, a clergyman of at least bishopric rank, a military officer in the grade of brigadier or above, or a crowned head of state. Then it moved by mule train, under armed guard, to the nearest seaport and hoped to catch a sailing ship...
Oh, wait! Never mind, I'm wrong. Actually back then it was easier and faster. I'm sure the
mods will get to is ASAP.
Welcome to the board.
