It is not my way. It is the way I was taught. If you look at the many threads, you will see there are many who profer this interpretation -- and many who do not.

As for reading somthing that is not there...let's not get into that. I explained clearly my reasoning, backed up by rule. To be closely guarded, a player must be continuosly guarded. That is the entire question here. You claim they remain guarded when a screener comes in between. I disagree...and cite the definition of guarding as the ratonale.

I am not so cocky as to say what the Fed wanted...when the Fed has not been so clear.
