I'm an investigative reporter and I need to figure out how to do this in order to move my investigation along. I don't want to get into any details on a public forum, but if anyone needs more information in order to help me figure out how to do this, I'd be happy to discuss it with you off-list.

Thanks for your help. I'll post the results of my investigation on this list if ya'll are interested.
