Thank you for your response that has been purportedly "mailed" to me. I am wondering where the information was mailed, as I have not received any mailed correspondence from you. Please respond in this venue, directly posting your Freedom of Information response in MUCKROCK, as your response is not to my benefit solely, but to a much wider interested audience.
