Thank you for your comments. This is my first encyclopaedia article. The wiki software is very confusing. I don't see how to resubmit. I "deflowered" the language in the article - is it now satisfactory? Thanks.

Thanks, Deltahedron. I have added a Conflict of Interest notice to the article's talk page, and disclosed my relationship to the organization on my new User Page, as per the FAQ for organizations. I should have requested that someone else create the article - there was already a lot of reading to do and I didn't know that was possible. Brentkearney (talk) 22:00, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
