PersistentDST made it clear in her question that it wasn't Bama specific, and how/why she was linking it to this thread. Apparently the majority of the responders understood that, which indicates that they were careful readers.
It's not the first time there's been a swerve in a GC thread and it won't be the last. And IMO it was a great place to insert an RFM question and responses, b/c PNMs and Non NPC posters (like kiteflyersmom and others whose NPC affiliation is unknown) will be clear on the answer and get good information.
As for the timing of the Bama brochure, that was a good suggestion by kiteflyersmom to have PNMs look at previous editions. I'm sure they all thought to do that, right?
