And here's my nice response, bainsey...

Methinks you didn't really want to ask him that particular question.

Btw and fwiw, as I said before you already had the answer from another IAABO board interpreter earlier in this thread. He said the correct answer was "no". And again fwiw, this particular nameless board interpreter is noted for his rules acumen. Very, very seldom is he wrong. You can usually take what he says straight to the bank. To me, he's a heckuva more reliable source than your nameless "high-ranking interpreter that assists with RefSchool". But hey, that's just me.

And now the kinder, gentler JR will retreat back into the murk and miasma from whence he came.
