Well, at least it looks like I'm in good company with my rejection.
Maybe I'll get better news with the IOTF Q4 results.

I'm going to beat Kevin J. Anderson's 12 before I pro out, just watch me.

Thanks, Alex--and right back at you. (Unrelated note--I grew up about 150 miles northeast of you in Buffalo Grove, a far northwest suburb of Chicago.)

Very cool. All of Illinois is pretty beautiful, but it's especially true of the Chicagoland area. Talk about the heart of America, far as I'm concerned.
Your story's an inspiring one. I've been submitting every quarter for about three years--this is my eleventh consecutive entry, if my count is right--and it's nice to finally feel a nibble on the hook, so to speak.
Best of luck to you and all the other finalists.

My bad, sorry. Newbie. Old guy, but still a newbie to these forums.
