the thing you have to understand about serving is that the judge isn't going to look at the rules and dismiss the thing on a technicality. serving has a function: to draw attention to an appeal. the person i'm serving must be made aware of the appeal. what i'm going to need to demonstrate, if i need to demonstrate it, is that the company knows what the appeal is, or should know what the appeal is, not whether some protocol is followed.
the bottom line is that she's evading, and i can show it.
