Sorry for the delay, Dinah -- I've been out of town the last several days.
I'm also sorry that what I said hurt you -- that wasn't my intention. I tried to avoid that by saying that I saw problems with the *system* here in the administration, not with the *individuals*. I have nothing but respect and admiration for you, personally. I see you as a person trying to make a difference for others, trying to make this world (your corner of it, your sphere of influence) a better place -- but I see that you're quite hampered by a system that attempts (likely through good, yet controlling intentions) to keep things "in check"... I see that system backfiring, and actually causing more harm than it's trying to prevent.
Again -- my opinion, based on my experience, and my observations. YMMV.
Shalom, Dena
