Last words: anything another ref tells you that you already know is great reinforcement of what you are doing right. Any advice on how to improve, after you've processed it (thought about it), will only make you better. Advice is a win-win. Rock on, brothers!
And that's the best attitude to have, Ski. An attitude such as truerookie's will get back to the assignor, which isn't a good thing. OTOH, an attitude such as yours will also get back to the assignor and that's a VERY good thing.

truerookie, we didn't ostracize you, you ostracized yourself with your comments and your attitude.

LOL BZ!
