TriggerMN's response IS different because it does not acknowledge a personal style.

I agree that a nuetral response is necessary. Better yet, I intentionally avoid conversations, especially game-oriented types, with coaches.

BTW: I like the "label" ABS Techs. Have to share that one with my partner, she'll get a kick out of it.
