Randy, You have very valid points, I too have worried how acting "as if" could affect the outcome of any real R. Right now we are playing their game by their rules (which tend to change momentarliy) but what happens when we are no longer playing the game by only one set of rules? It scares me to imagine how many mountains we will have to overcome once our S's realize they want a R with us.
Halo
