Karl listen, I've been nice by not saying anything but now I'm going 
to.  Over 1500 people have completed the very process that you're 
complaining about.  Even in the time you've tried to apply people have 
succeeded.  Its not an easy process but it does take a level of 
competence and independance to complete (we're working on making it 
better, really) I'm not making fun, but your jabs and quips aren't 
helping anyone.  The docs mailing list is not the place for technical 
support for signing the CLA and the fedora-list is not a blog.
