Patrick, List,

I agree with your comments, and I think you have offered me what I was seeki=
ng.

When you state, "...we have to avoid the perception of comprimised ethics
even when there is none..." suggests to me that each individual will have
to decide what is most valuable to their particular situation, and what
they are willing to risk in making those decisions.

Just because some are under the illusion that the appearance of impropriety
is in fact improper, just doesn't make it so.

Thank you,
