Thanks for chiming in, Jim. I agree 100%. I tell individuals that if they
can't convince the 3 or 4 other members of the team that this is worthy of
an appeal, how likely do they think it will be accepted? I have seen cases
where one team member felt strongly about an appeal, looked up the
information, re- wrote the question and got the others to agree. It was
accepted.

Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but
that is not what I have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds of
ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and
