Seeing how much this happens the rule is kind of silly. I get it 29yrs ago but we all have email, cell phones, etc. they could easily provide a time period to respond electronically.That's how the Challenge Family does it, but I understand IM doesn't want to wait for months to know how many slots they have filled (and that's how long the Challenge process takes, since every roll down means there is a couple more weeks for the next athlete on the list to register or ignore the e-mail). Also IM want to get paid right there and then. If they can afford to put pressure on people, why shouldn't they. Folks vote with their wallets.
