You may be interested to know that your own submissions history denies  
your joke. This is from an old copy of the submissions status page, from  
2001:

Niall Logan  [Stan Wyrm]
name	95	Artemisia	ret Niall Steorra Logan	
000219	Artemisia	GW received resub Niall Logan at Estrella War	
000630	Artemisia	LfC #27	
000813	to Laurel	LoI #25	
0012	Laurel	reg as Niall Logan	
device	95	Artemisia	ret first submission	
9812	Laurel	ret resub for lack of name and for conflict	
000219	Artemisia	GW received resub at Estrella War	
000630	Artemisia	LfC #32	
000813	to Laurel	LoI #30	
0012	Laurel	reg as   Per chevron dovetailed vert and Or, two bees  
respectant and a pine cone stem to chief proper

What this says is that your first name was returned in 1995, as was your  
device at that point for lack of a name. The resubmitted device was  
returned in 1998 for lack of a submitted or registered name, as that is a  
requirement to submit armoury of any type.

The table says that your name and device resubmissions were then received  
by Golden Wing in February 2000 at Estrella War; this is incorrect, but  
only by a little. Those resubs were done at Love Revel in Stan Wyrm in  
2000 while Golden Wing was at Estrella. I know this for a fact because I  
am the person who drew your resubmission at that table, while Tarimaat  
consulted with you about your name. Note that your resubs were taken in  
February, sent to internal review in June, sent to Laurel in August, and  
decided on by Laurel in December. There was some delay between the  
acceptance of the forms and the internal review; I'd guess that it was  
 from a combination of the local herald who took them having to get them  
copied, coloured, documented, and mailed to Yin Mei Li, who was then  
Golden Pillar, and some delay on Yin's part, probably from her work  
schedule at the time.

Ten months is not a year, or two or three.
