I did something wrong somewhere, somehow with the clown. It might have been answering the a qualification question wrong, or maybe something wrong with my reports. (I did them early in my MS career, so was still making stupid mistakes.)
Anyhow, they disappeared from my list, and I thought they'd been dropped. But a friend that I referred to MF is getting them. I asked MF help desk about it, and they said that they could not share why I was blocked for the clown shops.
I really just wanted to know why so I'd know how to avoid a repeat.
