If you told me not to call balks from the B position, I'd have remembered you. Seeing as how the responses to you were unanimous, I'm hoping you change your opinion on the matter.

It was some old-school thiniking that had "BU watches the feet, PU watches the hands" (or maybe it was the other way arond -- I forget).
