NOt always, in some cases it could be the LBS that leaves.. I have reccomended that in some cases too.

It would help I suppose, you are right... The thing is Ken there are some people on this forum who are anti-hardline

There is no official process to handle these things. There are a series of overlapping processes that each of us are implicitly advocating... and they are sometimes in conflict.

To complicate the overlapping processes, we have an infinite number of scenarios we are applying these processes to...

It would be a terribly convoluted flowchart if we included everything.

Maybe a hardliner flowchart and a softliner flowchart or something...

It definitely might help...

Just bear in mind there aer some posters here who do NOT advocate following a cookie-cutter type recipie for this delicate situation... They actually find it makes things more difficult... a lot of posters here press the importance of the given situation, while others choose to focus on the repeating patterns and work on that end...

It's actually quite complicated... But I imagine a flow chart could at the very least be educational... It would very likley produce a lot of conflict as well lol
