there was no salutation...it was replied to directly from the email listed on asap:

I actually asked 5 (!) distinct questions...none of which were really answered
1. Confirm that husband has not been selected for PUBNAT4
2. Are the rumors of the new format of one application being valid for a year true?
3. Who does the new format apply to? 1-4? Starting with 5? Starting with 8?
4. If the new format does not apply to 4s (husbands only application), is there any way he can be "added" to 5,6,7?
5. Since there have been changes to the application, as listed on asap, can he update his application? How?
Based on what she said though, is see no purpose in this new format other that to save them having to send geo pref emails. His application was submitted in June. It took (over) six months to generate the list, and the list is valid for six months...guess what folks...that's a year.
