I wish they did operate like the Army! Then predictability would be a snap.
It doesn't surprise me that they did not respond. They run on their own schedule. Add in the complication of the new "helper" Wally just got, this type of thing could slip thru the cracks. And then again, They could have responded, and as 567tbd pointed out in an earlier post, it takes months for things to be posted on the web page.
Don't put too much weight on this, one way or another. We are only spectators in this play, and we can only speculate as to what goes on backstage. As long as all the actors hit their marks, then the play goes on.
You have to admit, this play is a real thriller! (the butler didn't do it! LOL)
