That's exactly the point.. you hit it Pupper.

The thing is Piano, until the affair is exposed by the LBS or someone else, the LBS is PART of the affair.

Once the affair is brough out into the oppen for public scruitiny (and exposed well, just "exposing" isnt' necessarily a solution.. it can be done badly and not help at all) then you get out of the way and protect yourself from WH.

If you expose well you should feel like you are OUT of the affair when you are done...

Follow up with people who support you I think is very important. Keep yourself in the loop and keep the pressure on WS...
