I sorted out the details and I believe now I am a in the SETI.USA team. I received an email the other day saying I had earned a badge for something or other. First time I ever noticed an email of that sort.

New badge earned
Congratulations rjohnson!
You earned Bronze badge from project Wildlife

That was the content of the email. I'm not even sure what project Wildlife is but I got a bronze badge. I'm assuming that will show up in the signature badge thing I set shortly after join this forum and joining the SETI.USA team. If anyone wants to expand on this and let me know what its all about or point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ron
