sale of compulsory related services
| Dear Sangro, Many thanks for your help with this. As I explained to Phil, I didn't get an alert from proz that this query had been answered and therefore I closed it (trying to avoid anyone spending time on it since I had to submit the piece). Anyway, that's why I closed before grading and Proz doesn't give a very wide range of options for a reason. Thanks for taking the time to answer and I'm seeing about awarding points with the proz team. Best wishes, Lilly |

Discussion
I was actually trying to close it before anyone spent any time on it! (since I had to submit). I will of course speak to the team, I wouldn't be so rude as to just close without bothering. Proz just don't provide a reasonably range of responses, best, Lilly
