Thanks, Cindy, for managing these lists for so long.
Your work definitely does not go unappreciated.

Being Scanned List

I noticed that wishes will remain on the list for 3 months. What will
happen to them after that? Will they go to the outsourcers, or will
there be nothing done with them?
Thanks,
Melissa Smith
