I think, in fact, it was @Gardener who suggested that seeing LBS "do well" could make it "easier" on WAS -- which is really just another way of saying "I'm afraid to do well, lest it validate WAS's decision."
No, this wasn't me. And there also seems to be some "cross-threading" recently on my thread. No problem, mind you, just I'm unsure how it started.
I read it all, though. Always something to learn.
