Re: Why Anet Is Declining

Yes - I posted a few days ago here that my photo was submitted, accepted, but not actually added to database. Was told to submit my photo ID on another thread, which I duly did. Now a few days on, photo still not added. Wondering if anyone is actually seeing my post. http://www.airliners.net/forum/v...
