UW, try not sending out the form rejection email for awhile...People then just think you're taking a really long time considering their partner request and they end up forgetting all about you
Unfortunately, the rejection emails on partner accounts has only caused me trouble...1 out of 10 always want to fucking argue the fact that they completely suck. Every once and awhile you get someone that actually listens and understands Engrish...but those are few and far between.
