kappatiff, I can understand your frustration, however, all of the post above have given you some very good advice. I do not understand why they continually reject some prints and not others. I think if they would send and explanation with the rejection as to why they were not acceptable it would indeed help considerably.
By the way, I think that an apology to Simone would probably help you more than anything, at this point.
We are all on your side and pulling for you. Keep us posted on how things turn out, okay?
