Dave,
And which dog is yours? Except to jump on me again?

Prior to you jumping on me again, I thought I was done posting in this thread. But since you insist....

If you had been following along, my defense has not been that nothing was wrong.

Obviously something was wrong. My defense still is that the thing that was wrong was not favoritism, good-ole-boy network, or any sort of secret thing as implied. The thing that was wrong could have been many things, including submission errors.

Now that we know, it turns out the thing that was wrong was an honest mistake by HQ. This distinction is important, because it is about integrity at HQ.
