I’m hoping someone can help me with this. I recently joined Harlan’s mailing list. I know I am in for a long wait, but was surprised to get this letter in the mail from the. It is heavy stock and embosssed. The quote inside reads:

Leonardo Da Vinci
What am I missing? I’m not sure if this is the “better luck next year” notice, or I just got admitted to a secret society. Any help explaining what this means (or why I got it) is much appreciated.
