It's interesting that you think that's possible. I've thus far refused
requests from our marketing department to do exactly at as I thought
it would certainly be a violation of the policy. I'm not convinced it
wouldn't be even now, but it's interesting to know you might find
something acceptable. When I get a hour (probably a couple of years
from now as things are currently looking!) I might give it a whirl and
run it past you guys.
