Brian,

That's why all communication should go through the L.

That is not possible nor reasonable. M does need to communicate with H on some matters. You can't just jettison ALL communications on to the L. Otherwise, it will rack up unnecessary billable time just for "tit-for-tat" communications.

For legal matters pertaining to the divorce, house sale, division of assets, and child custody arrangements need to be handled by the L.

Ad,

I thought Brian's suggestion was quite vanilla.

My response was not in reference to Brian's suggested response which, I too thought, was good. It was in response to Brian's comment on why M should worry about H being 'hot and bothered' based on their previous communications. Focus on the how to communicate with the WAS part. That is the crux of my main point here.

What does take a mile mean in the context of the bball ticket conversation?


I was not referring to the ticket issue per se...but generally speaking of their previous communications where H countered back at M with more spew, twisting words, and placing strategic mini-bombs where he can hang M with her own words.

The choice to get excited about what he said and how he put it...is Melissa's.


Yep. I think this is the general consensus here. smile
