Indeed. The key point here is the attorney passing it on with an opinion instead of a threat of disaster.
OK, I see your point. I have no way to gauge the pressure you describe, but I understand your argument. Tough for me to verify what actually took place, but the TA was not the best I've seen. I voted for it, and am sufficiently comfortable with my vote, but it was fairly close to missing the mark, as far as my vote went.

I missed your post while typing mine. Please tell me this is some sort of hypothetical?

Alfa, I'm so very, very sorry for you. I'm going to take your advice. I think it's the most respectful thing I can do.

I think he is. I believe this is for real. Am stunned. I think maybe the L&G can observe a minute of silence for a bit. We don't agree about everything here, but I know we agree about how we put our kids, in the hierarchy of things.

I feel sick to my stomach.
