Haven't heard back yet, and I did check my Spam. It's only 7:46 am EST, so it may still be early. I'll try again if I don't hear anything by about 2.

If you use Outlook or Windows Live Mail its important to log on to your ISP's webmail and check the spam folder there too.

I check my spam at least once a day. I've only had actual spam in there. I'm not using Windows Live Mail or Outlook. I've written him a few times times with no response, so I doubt that all of his responses to me are ending up somewhere. I replied to his initial acceptance message every time, and I double-checked the e-mail address. I even sent an alternate e-mail address just in case something was going awry. Nothing!

I am not sure if they are taking new writers or not. I know at one point they were not taking anyone new but I am not sure if that changed.

One of the reasons I love this little gig is b/c the communication is great. I am always responded to promptly. I know he was working yesterday b/c I had a question and it was answered in minutes.

I can see no responses if they are on a hiring freeze, but I have no clue why someone who has already been accepted would not hear back.

I applied on Tuesday and got an acceptance email on Wednesday. I just sent back an email this morning requesting a username and password. I will not be concerned if I do not hear back until after Monday, since Sunday is Christmas. I know when I applied, there was a warning that not all applications are responded to, so I would email them and give them a push.
