  1. I am ready to take the oral quiz so that you can (hopefully) pass me on the Elite Certification. Apparently, Jeremy, between our heated dialogues, you have removed my listing (where I had roughly 40 positive reviews) altogether, which I do not quite understand. I would like to get back on to your site with the free listing, and would preferably like to become 123Certified, as I was in the past, and hopefully Elite Certified.
