Alan and Mowgli,

You both have confirmed something that I suspected, i.e. that I would have an easier time doing this if I were still on the IT side of the company. When I started here (in May of this year), I moved into the business side. I think that traditionally IT has been more informal about some of the corporate policies because of the service they provide to the organization (the fact that we were always locked away in a data center probably din't hurt!).
