Good stuff here... This nonsense of demanding apologies and such just isn't realistic, not to mention contrary to DB strategy guidelines...

I usually stick to MWD unless there's an affair happening... MWD is spot on unless there's infidelity at work, then I think a hardball approach is necessary...
