On the validation email point (I didn't send BTW), I have to admit it is hard reconciling all of the various rules in your "rules" post. I have this notion of validation pinging around in my head from reading your stickied email, her meltdown came and went with me not doing much other than listening and trying to brainstorm short term childcare solutions, and I wondered aloud here if I should Send a short note
Upon reading your post today, it makes better sense. Apparently, I had read or assumed something incorrectly. I apologize if I caused confusion.
I don't have a thread on validation. Wonka has a validation cheat sheet, and there is a stickie by it. I have a thread with the 37 "rules". So, I'm not really sure how to respond.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
