All Quiet on the Oppo front?

I verified my e-mail on 5/9/18.

Well, this is somewhat confusing. 😂 

@mcgal did you signup for the waiting list AND verify your email address on the same date? I understand that Oppo is prioritizing based on the initial date of contact, not the date when the email address is verified. The two dates can differ. 

Yes, I signed up for the waiting list at least a month or two before I received the verifying email that I still wished to make the purchase. The two dates were different.

Ok. So there appears some confusion here. Everyone gets an auto-reply from Oppo email requesting that they verify their email address. Thereafter, months later, some folks get a second email confirming their interest in getting a player? Is that second Oppo email the same as requesting payment, or did Oppo send yet a third email requesting payment?
