First .. welcome to NM, otherwise known as Dante's Inferno "all hope abandon, ye who enter here" :-) I am sorry to say NM has a rather poor reputation.
Could I ask a small favor? Would you keep a diary and log everything that happens as you travel along the NM route, take careful notes and record all emails. I am very curious to see if the NM process has become more approachable.
