Modern Marvel?

The Carthage Press reported that RES Makes National Headlines. Julie Gelfand, spokesperson for Changing World Technologies, Inc, owner of Renewable Environmental Solutions, LLC announced that the cable television History Channel is featuring RES in an upcoming segment of Modern Marvel. That's great!
Carthage Mayor, Jim Woestman said that "I think that's great that they're bringing other people in. I hope they come on a day when they've got a major stink going on. I welcome all outside people to come in here because they cannot hide that stink. He calls that a woops, he can't hide that every day. He's got to have one of those on a days when someone is here."

"Staff did not perceive any odors"...

I received another letter from Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR)following the completion of their on line STINK report form, http://www.dnr.mo.gov/concern.htm . Their response letter was dated 4 weeks after I submitted the report. I'm sure that you've seen one yourself, it goes like this, "Your concern regarding odors in the Carthage area has been received and investigated by staff of the Department of Natural Resources Regional Office. Staff did not perceive any odors in the area that were a violation during the investigation". It goes on to say, "Your cooperation, assistance and patience with our staff will be most greatly appreciated. We will continue to work within the confines of the law to provide the greatest service that we can achieve with our available staff".

I understand that a month later, the MDNR might not "perceive' any odors in the area. The comments regarding 'cooperation, assistance and patience' are a little confusing, since I took the initiative to fill out their form, and then waited a month before hearing anything. Would I expect anything else?
