It took some time. I remember being a bit frustrated and he wrote to me (from memory), "It doesn't make sense to make you a verified provider when you've only been active on this board for 2 days".
At the time, I didn't get it. Now, I do. 
I met JerryD during my first days working. I have to concur. At that time, I didn't know any back gossip but he was always just wonderful. And he loves Pink Floyd, too!
ASPD is remembered with fondness. For whatever reason, I remember being a lot more uppity then! (I liked some of the vicious back and forths. We're a bit more tame here and overall, have less intellectual topics than before.)
Just my take on it. Could be looking back with some rose colored glasses on.

I do remember you contacting me when you first started. I don't recall the provider status request specifically, but I do remember offering some friendly advice and encouragement.
Way back when, I wasn't a fan of staff certifying provider status, and Dallas was the last board on ASPD to require it for posting ads.
In regards to JerryD, in fairness, how could anyone not love Pink Floyd?
Like apparently many others, I also was the recipient of a CD from him. There was a lady (civilian) I was interested in that liked an obscure song. I contacted JerryD, told him of my interest in her and her interest in that song, and a few hours later he was in my office delivering a CD with that song and others she might like.
With that, he earned an Assist when I subsequently scored. One of many, I'm sure, during his illustrious career.
