[Problem with registration]

For reasons I don't understand, my credit card isn't working for prereg.  So, I borrowed the use of someone else's card.  It looks like the system is set up to ONLY recognize the card holder as the person registering, not "so and so is paying for X, and X is for someone else."  How do I get around this?

It's never been free?

Has this always been the case?

[Team Fortress 2]

Well, I added you all on Steam who had an ID. Except for al gorge, which Steam told me it couldn't find.

I mostly play Engy, and some Soldier, and other classes as needed by my team.

[Any old veterans have stories?]

I am currently in the process of writing a book that heavily involves the anime scene circa 1990-2000. If anybody has any expereince with this and has some time to talk about it (about 10-15 minutes), drop me a line and we can arrange for a sit down. I'm interested in hearing from anyone, small town, big town, foreign, domestic, casual fan or hardcore follower. Convention and cosplay anecdotes are also of interest.

Thanks in advance.
