<p>Thank you for posting and getting us thinking about this. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The natural next questions include how to pick a filing path. The simplest and in some ways most predictable is to mail it in with a Certificate of Mailing. The next thing to wonder is if there is a fax number for this stuff. As far as I can see, the
answer is "no". Finally, during banker's hours, one could hand-carry it to the Madison building.<o:p></o:p></p>
