[200q20v] trying to thin the herd

[Chris Covington]

Don,

Try to find local ads as well.  I went through this with my old CQ and
gave the adjustor a ton of ads but most of them didn't "count" because
they were not local to the state of Michigan.  That was with AAA, and it
may not apply, but it's worth consideration.
