It seems that there was a huge flood of FP's issued in Feb/March of 2003. Many postings on this board prior to this flood related to strategies to call TSC and manipulate/beg/demand, etc. that the IIO manually issue an FP.
This pretty much dried up as all 2001 and many 2002 filers got their FPs taken care of.
It seems like these people are now getting their approvals.
TSC seems to do things in batches, so you people who filed in 2003 and mid-late 2003 will likely get your FP notices in the next round.
