KDogs,

Put down that pen, step away, and no one gets hurt.

Nope, nope. Writing letters to the WAS is ineffective because:

1) You cannot change their perspective
2) It just comes across as pressure with begging, pleading, reasoning, smacking on their head
3) It will set you back big time (remember the Ladder and Chutes game??)

You are acting out from frustration that there's no movement on W's part to reconsider D. Pull out that hot pink duct tape from your toolbox and wrap it around your mouth several times until you cannot blow a raspberry out of your mouth.

I can tell you this: In all of my time on the boards, I've NEVER, NEVER seen the WAS walk back in the LBS' arms after a letter was sent to them. In fact, it had the opposite effect.

You and your L do need to respond to W's proposed settlement. This is strictly a business transaction and you need to put on your business hat to negotiate what you want that is fair and equitable.
