You have absolutely nothing to apologize for. They're an appeals board that is independent of the Wetlands Bureau. When cases go before them we have the same standing as the Appellant, we get the same responses, in the same time frames. I do interact with some of the members professionally. I know those members to be very hard working people and it bothers me that anyone would think they were incompetent or slacking off. However, I also know where Gatto Nero and HAHLY are coming from.
At this point I just don't have anything productive that I could bring to this conversation.
