We have been asked over the years for people to write exam questions. Now it is
through an intermediary -- that is, it seems to be a slightly different format
than dealing directly with the AICPA. I would urge people to consider doing
this -- as many "eyes and ears" as we can have is a good thing. Plus, it always
helps to be able to say there are to links between our two organizations.
