 Description
 ===============================================
 
-This submission is primarily to address a failing test.
-One of the test (out of hundreds) was missing `testthat::skip_on_cran()`.
+This submission is primarily to address vignettes were calling an external server.
+When that dev server had maintenance on
+[Dec 13](https://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/Rblas/MKL/REDCapR.out), Brian Ripley requested that
+the vignettes be modified to comply with the CRAN policy that states
+no external sources should be called.
 
 Thank you for taking the time to review my submission, and please tell me if there's something else I should do for CRAN.  -Will Beasley
