I agree with CL. I like this train of thought. Definitely run with it. Perhaps H is doing the best he knows how, but with out the knowledge you have gained here. Some people do there homework better, your a good student BM. When you struggle, talk a little more to your veteran friend. Although all sitches are not the same, at least you'll have a good picture and an idea of where to go. Of course a good personal cheering section isn't a bad thing either.
