Wow. So, I submit a support request to Sourceforge asking why I still can't log into their shell machine (or the IA-64 boxen I was supposedly given access to) after having my account for three months, and the support request disappears into thin air.
I really wish I could just ignore Sourceforge entirely (which I've done a reasonably good job of for most of its existence) but unfortunately the CVS tree for CMU Sphinx is there, and I theoretically have (limited) check-in priviledges.
Since Sourceforge is so incredibly broken I guess I'll just return to sending patches, which is probably a better way to do things anyway.
