If you go to the website, you can apply for membership via a waiting list. If you wish to bypass the waiting list, find a sponsor. I looked, returned here, and asked JoshuaTree for an invitation. If he gets $10 when/IF I make a purchase, so what? He took the time to follow through and I'm not paying him the "finder's fee" out of my pocket.

You can be offended, if you wish, but not everyone will be.
