Sometimes I think one test of the DB progress (vis-a-vis B'ing the D, and not self-development) is the extent to which Walkaway gives one credit for one's own needs -- that is, when it stops being all about Walkaway.

So this argument of yours -- I'm on my own now and it's only fair that I be able to TC my own B -- is an important one to follow-up on.

I suspect that when Walkaways start admitting the LBS's needs -- be they financial or whatever -- then progress is being made towards some something.

Nice pull on my Coral Sea reference over on my thread, btw, Dawg. You're my kind of dude.
