being sloppy is very poor and the IND quote i responded to is the following: "The stem cell IND data submittal is supposed to be 1Q 2007." i definitely equated "data submittal" with the word filing. i dont want to make a big deal about this at all, but in learning the science i do try my best to be not sloppy. i just wanted you to know that i had an exact reason for saying what i did to Rmc. if i am wrong , i'm wrong and i definitely apologize. i went back and went over my post and Rmc's and please tell me why i think it is still correct for me to advise Rmc of his possible mistake regarding the timing of the IND? Rmc, no hard feelings here and hopefully on your side. thanks again for your help esammmee.
