I agree with some of the Whirlers that I should be grateful for fresh eyes,
and that admin. assistants have alot to contribute - I used to be one!
However, our exec. assist. IS *overloaded*. I think when the "uppers"
start to see a trend in manuals holding up the release/update, I will bring
up the subject to management again.
