    lots of negotiation to get recognition for an act that was clearly a record.

uh... is this story posted somewhere we can read?

Not really. This article touches on it though. What it does not touch upon is the fact that GWR first simply would not respond to me, then we had to work out the record definition, then work out the method for verifying the record (which was the hardest part as it was a lot more complicated than just measuring the size of one's foot or something), then we had to complete lots of paperwork for the application, then present them with the evidence and hope they would OK it.
