hey KDU - I must say you are doing extremely well and making your H flounder a bit! Just by backing off a little from the situation like you have has caused him to change his tune again. But I'm sure by now with all the back and forth you could have predicted this - I almost want to say that you did in an earlier post.
So you at least know the pattern of the madness to it all - if only there were a way to break it. Just keep doing what your doing, keep your PMA up, stay firm (with yourself as well) I know how hard that can be.
