Now I am all paranoid. At least I shouldn't miss anything if I follow the announcements here. I'll know when to ask if my invite fell through the cracks somewhere.

Actually, I think now would be the time to ask. Correspond with Rob directly. Sounds to me like the "important" message was bounced when they were running through the 5000's. Since they had thousands of names to get through, and many of them bounced for real, you can't blame Rob for assuming you'd moved on and were unreachable.

Rob's very good about keeping the customer happy, and if it turns out that your message accidentally bounced, I'm sure he'll take care of it and make sure you're in with the rest of the Mk1-deferred group of names.
