Very honest - I appreciate that.

God puts opportunities in our lives to take action on behalf of others. Whether these people are close to you or not, you're the one with the power and the knowledge to act. Put yourself in the BW's shoes, and at whatever point you would wish to have been told to look for potential trouble, that's when you should contact her.

Not many people get the chance to stop their WS's A (possibly) before it becomes a PA.

Neak: I will continue to monitor and ponder. I hate the idea that my actions -- or lack thereof -- are the defining issue in this matter. (I mean, i KNOW the wayward colleague's are really at issue here, but ... )

I have a feeling that watching them will trigger anger and action. We'll see ...

They are only the defining issue for *you*. I'm happy to say you don't own one ounce of the colleagues' manure, but only your own choice whether or when to tell.

Keep in mind as you watch that an EA is every bit as poisonous to a M as a PA.

I'm sure you will make the right choice for your sitch.
