Steve ~

I'm curious why you say you have great rapport with her?

This "file or don't file" dilemma is tough.

I suggest you ignore why she hasn't filed. It doesn't matter. It could be for any number of reasons:

- leaving the door open
- stringing you out to negotiate
- doesn't want to deal with the hassle of doing it
- doesn't want to be the "bad guy" (see, it was SteveS who gave up!)

Forget why, keep focusing on you.
