Comments:

The PRSC appeal was not of rules. It was an appeal to reason. It was never likely to succeed, but you have to try.

If IBLA denies the PRSC appeal, PRSC's position is improved. fixBLM will leverage the denial.

If IBLA grants the PRSC appeal, fixBLM will still pursue its independent mission. We all have more than enough reason to finish that job.
