It is difficult for an ongoing business (or an investor) to go bankrupt without debt.

Manlobbi, there are a few people on Facebook who have so far been unable to join this site. Are you aware of the problem? This is what Sandy Williams had to say about it in the RELE group on Facebook:
"Apparently, the method of "joining" the site has evolved from the first days, and now, after submitting all the required information, you are instructed to click on a link in an email they claim to have sent. It's rather like changing a password, when a site requires the same thing to authenticate your identity. David Drenick is having the same problem, as he attempted to join at around the same time I did -- a few days ago."

Thanks for that feedback. I'm aware and if having a problem at the same moment then more likely the STMP email server was experiencing a temporary problem.
Generally it is okay and many people are signing up each day and you only hear (in reporting) about the cases where people are not seeing the email. All the people signing up of course don't report back, but that is what I am seeing also.
The system now reports an error to the user if the email is not genuinely sent. Earlier it didn't report that. If no problems reported to the user then the email really was sent, so it is just a question of whether (1) it is in the spam folder or (2) an intermediate email server considers it spam and has filtered it even before it reached you.
If anyone is having signup problems then:
1. Check the spam folder.
2. Repeat but with a *different* email.
I think the community here wants the email confirmation if the logic followed through, as they want to know that *other* users are genuine and not just creating lots of different login accounts to pretend to be multiple people when they are just one person.

Thanks. The people having the log in problem don't want to create a new email account, so have given up for now.

The email sending score as rated by mail-tester.com is 9.5 out of 10 which they class as "Perfect" but in a couple of weeks it will move up by 0.6 points to over the usual 10 limit, which is amongst the highest in the industry.
This 0.6 point upwards revision occurs simply when the domain name registration becomes less new. Some email recipient servers are suspicious of emails sent from domain names newly registered, and shrewdm.com has only been around for a few weeks. I can't do anything about that, except wait.
For what it is worth, shrewdm.com is receiving about 10 signups each day, very few signups were being prevented by emails not being received. Any of those users could register an email at gmail or anywhere else in minutes if they wanted. But there are only 5 such signups that did not have the email link clicked, and that's over 10 days (compared to 100 successful signups over that time). The system of course has a record of signups waiting for the emails link to be clicked, as they don't expire.
Based on the present ratings of Shrewdom's email system, if someone isn't getting an email now whilst joining up, it is possible that *no-one* is able to send to that email.
If someone is trying to sign up and reading this, please ensure any email you are using to join up actually works by sending yourself a test email to confirm the email is active.
The email sending is extremely reliable now at Shrewd'm.
