[Imc] SOS update.

[Molly Stentz]

sascha,

don't fret - they are just picky. they give lots of orgs a hard time. they
sent mine back for something, too, maybe a "the" or something - I can't
remember. They gave isen a hard time for the word "network".  that is the
standard clause they use and it's meaningless. they won't tell you what's
wrong unless you ask the right questions.

call them up and see which word they took issue with, or if it was just
a typo. be prepared to be on hold - it's hard to get a live person on the
phone ;) if you know anyone in spfld it might be worth asking them to run
over and ask in person - quicker ;)
