If you were milking it, would you admit it? Why, when we have rules concerning congas, would we allow others to manipulate the system by using their signatures? Does it matter if there is proof that they are receiving referrals, when they're manipulating the system and showing that either the conga referral isn't enough to them, or that they simply don't care if there is a conga?
Agreed and perhaps a "re-review" of the signatures is in order?

Cheers.
As (imho) probably the case with most F/t'ers hence those signatures which "don't fit the guidelines" are still out there
