Now they claim they are writing to the agency apologizing for the mess.. and asking whehter they can keep using their “courrier source” in the future, even if they assume they won’t be able to.

I have no idea on their other sources (except that some are quite obviously… this site ;-) Nor on their general accuracy. Just wanted to clarify that the rumour reported there is completly split into two different ones, and with different sources. And yes, the package could be just TAs, they explicitly claim that they don’t “believe” this based upon past experience, but no first-hand information. So we’d better take this (and most…) rumours with a grain of salt.

All in all, not much info. No one seems to have much, if any.

Referral: soon, whatever soon might mean.
Forgiveness for the extenuating wait: probably within 10 minutes of getting the referral ;-)

Still waiting…and not too patiently at that!

Besides, just because a package arrived does not mean it was referrals, since U.S. agencies received TA’s today I’d imagine that was what was in the European agency’s package.

That site isn’t very scrupulous - first they use my graphics and try to pass them off as their own without admitting they are from another site, and then they use tons of pop ups, and now they are publicly admitting to tracking? I haven’t gone there since I got hit with a half dozen popup ads and some cookies that keep track of where you search.

* The “European rumor” comes from a site run by PAPs, not from any agency site.

On the point of why can the agency say the 3rd is in but not know about the rest… quite simple: the agency has said NOTHING. The site confirmed that the referrals arrvide… through courrier tracking. So the real info they provide is that the package just arrived this morning, Euopean time. Let’s pass on how they were able to tack it, as it is irrelevant to the current state of affairs.

* The question of “Nov 3rd is included” is not a new assertion by that site. They confirmed (?!?) some days ago that Nov 3rd was in for sure… and that they knew nothing about the rest. But this date is unrelated to the fact of the package hitting the agency’s desk.

My own recolection is that they know for sure that the package arrived to the agency (but not though agency’s sources). They assume it contains referrals (based, apparently, on previous agency sources). They pretend to be sure Nov 3rd is included (but thy’ve been claimning taht for a while). I cannot tel how they got that, but I can only imagine that this comes from a Nov 3 family being told so by the agency, and then turning the info into that blog publishers.

I guess tomorrow the agnecy will start the calls, so then the usual referral anouncements will start on the various boards.

Now, try to get some sleep, or at least some rest ;-)))
