chris s.,
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you; perhaps this would be a good time for a cup of coffee.
But, I certainly wouldn't expect you to take
my word on this - after all, I'm just a coach. And whereas
you've been "doing this" for thirteen years,
I've only been doing this for 11 years.
Tell you what? Why don't you click on the link below and read some of the stuff there. If you're
still not convinced that
this is the proper ruling on the situation I described (BTW, it
IS), let me know and I'll see if I can convince you.
