Steve - aren't you projecting a tad bit too much from what you recently went through onto Joe? Didn't Sandi and Blu just put up a huge thread on what piecing in and how it's incredibly difficult? I find your response very very strange.
Maika, not sure what you are objecting to, specifically. Joe has been vocal at dealing with many of the feelings I was recently dealing with in my thread. Piecing is a choice by both Ss. But so often the LBS is seeing things through a fog and THINKS they want R more than anything. It is hard to objectively look at your sitch and decide if you'd be better off without this cheater that is willing to stomp on your heart rather than come to you to work on things.
Maybe out of context my response seemed strange, but I think Joe understood based on our discussions in my thread.
