Dear Deborah, If my earlier reply is of any use to you at all, feel free to use it to back up your claim for justification. I would be very interested to be kept up to date with the progress of this, if you don't mind sharing it with me. Of course, if there as any other help you think I can give, please contact me directly on this address. Good luck.
