Wow, Hero is phenomenal. I hope the revisit and reconsider. Formalities alone shouldn't make them miss this opportunity, only pessimists complain of noise when opportunity knocks.

Stay strong @stan i understand how it can feel, to have worked and made it work and then for the minutest of reasons, to be denied approval. I celebrate your creativity and capacity. It might not mean much, but you're an outlier.
