I personally appreciate your support and patience, but I also know that your time and passion about FIRST are very important. You are right in saying that this delay and waste of time is unacceptable. For that, I am sorry. Also, I do appreciate the time our staff has made to get this process working and I do promise that we will have a sound FIRST Choice service soon.
Sincerely,
Andy Baker

I posted the following message to my Facebook earlier, but I feel would better serve people here on Delphi.
"Dear AndyMark, Inc.,
I know a lot of people are angry right now, but they clearly are the ones who don't get GP. Being a long time
FIRSTer, I remember when the KoP was the KoP, and you were grateful to just get that. The fact that we have this awesome new service with
FIRST Choice is fantastic. I was a beta tester for FIRST choice this year, and there were no major issues. The fact that you have been open about everything has been fantastic. While you may only hear a lot of the negative today, please remember that there are still a ton of us in the FIRST community that appreciate the service you are offering us. I for one would rather continue to have the opening be postponed then to have massive issues dealing with it later. You can't please everyone, but at least you try.
Thanks again for all the hard work you do for us in
FIRST.
Jon"
Also, I would just like to remind everyone of a time, not too long ago, where
FIRST itself couldn't handle registration. It was something that was dealt with, and was something they had to learn and grow from. I know many of the people who work at AndyMark personally, and know that they all take this very seriously. They are some of the most dedicated people in the
FIRST community.
I would like to once again applaud Andy, and the entire AndyMark team for all their work on this!
