Thanks, Clob. I'm not asking any of you to approve of what she's done, I just wanted ideas and suggestions and thoughts (like this one) about how to fix the problem. It's not going to be easy for anyone involved. No one expects a fast, easy fix for this. It simply isn't going to happen, and we recognize that.
