In response to Scott B. ...............

that is what your friend says and it may be totally true and may explain his name on the list.

However the list reeks badly because there are so very many who recieved permits in MARCH when applications are not even accepted until April.

Doesn't that seem a little amiss to you? I cannot possibly believe any explanation that these listed permits were just leftovers after the lottery issuance when the lottery had not even taken place!
