Your response as written above, sorry to say, still sounds like you have a solid case of NGS. Explaining yourself. No need to do that. Just validate with concise statements and move on.


Thank you Steve for pointing that out. I struggle over explaining things and as you can see even when I try to keep it short and to the point it shines through. I probably should have just said " I can understand why you would feel that way" and left it at that. I do need to improve my validation. I will set it as a goal. I set Sandi's rules as a goal and read them often, sometimes daily and it helped me stay focused and consistent. I'll have to do the same with validation.
