It's getting there ... <grin>

So, they had a master key, but decided that if one is good, several 
different ones would be better; then they decided that if they are 
master keys, they must never leave the building; then they decided 
that these multiple uber-keys should not be quick to find, they 
surely deserve a little respect, like their own little throne room 
with several locked antechambers, so they set up an approach path 
with multiple keys somewhat similar to a software firewall company's 
telephone help line tree .... i.e., one is never supposed to reach 
the business end of it.

I can just hear you explaining this system to your successor when you 
reach retirement a few years down the pike ... allow a LOT of time 
for it! Maybe you could write a flowchart while having a beer 
together, to bolster his or her courage.
