That's very interesting. Their careful attention should make you feel even better about your certification being thorough and not a quick perusal. It is unusual for a large batch of naturals to come along.

I noticed you were having trouble putting up photos. Can you add a hidden page to your website and post the link here? I often put vacation photos up on my website on a page that is not linked to the other pages, or has a hidden link.
