Oh, but I can't really.  In this case, I was in - and remain in - 
constant communication with the Board and with Sue.  That doesn't mean I 
did everything exactly correctly - I didn't.

But I don't regard it in any way as within my personal remit to make 
major changes to policy.

Not only is it not true that I can "get away with anything" - it's also 
something that I wouldn't want to be true.
