Please do - phone calls mean a lot, and I really cannot overstate this, a ridiculous amount of weight is given to them if they’re in-state; not email. Any time you can call on an issue, do.

I called both of them. One got my thanks, and one my dissatisfaction. I don't think he cares... But I did anyway.

Awesome! Trust me, it might not feel like they care, but they are very data driven. Getting calls from locals is what puts the most pressure on.
