Not every submission, just the ones that are delayed enough so that
on-time submission appears threatened.

And how much extra work is a phone call compared to the endless repeat

that every one is talking about?

BTW, in answer to my question earlier today about how many applications
have been rejected--answer:  So far, 1, about a year ago.
