I have noticed that the WASs do tend to move through these stages, but not consistently and clearly--more of a big mess.
It also seems that most of them have a time when they want S back...or they at least make gestures in that direction. Sadly, much of the time the LBS doesn't want them any more.
I once posted the stages we go through as LBSsers. I am finding that I am moving in good, healthy directions.
