AFG, I am also new to the boards so I dont have the expertise as others do to help, but I certainly want you to know that I will be watching your sitch and look forward to positive updates. Although my sitch differs from yours, I too have the inhouse seperation thing going on. Its tough. Never quite sure where you stand at any given time. I will let others chime in on detachment and thoughts on how to handle the EA/OW issues.
