I wish there was paperwork we could show to explain this....
Glad to hear that worked. It's unfortunate that we have to be aggressive - but it works - you are asking simply for what you paid and for clearance for. When I entered the IO supervisor explained to me that he understood where i was coming from and that likely the department had just not bothered to send any memo down to the team.
